Polimoda launches ‘Fashion for Metaverse’ course in collaboration with Monogrid

Florence-based fashion school Polimoda has launched the ‘Fashion for Metaverse’ short course in collaboration with digital creative agency Monogrid.

The four-week course is designed for advanced students and professionals who wish to focus on the development of digital fashion creations for the metaverse and NFTs.

Students will explore both the creative and strategic process of producing virtual fashion clothing and accessories by exploring the creation of avatar clothing design and learning about the subculture of fashion that combines digital and physical design.

The following subjects will be studied: art direction, design development, digital culture and iconography, fashion design in the metaverse, fashion future and marketing in the metaverse.

Massimiliano Giornetti, director of Polimoda, said in a statement: “From the catwalks directly to the metaverse, ‘Fashion for Metaverse’ is a new and entirely digital experience aiming to connect the real world with virtual interactions and offering the opportunity for individuals to express themselves through customisable digital 3D avatars.

“In response to the increasing demand for professional profiles with multifaceted knowledge of the fashion industry, this course will amplify the creative potential of tomorrow's designers, capable of integrating the craftsmanship of traditional fashion with hyper-augmented realities. Versatile, conceptual creativity connecting the heritage of fashion with the metaverse.”
