Dolce & Gabbana, Tommy Hilfiger, COACH, adidas, DKNY, Vogue Singapore, Monnier Paris, DUNDAS, Phygicode Dress in collaboration with Rubin Singer, and others lead an all-star lineup at Metaverse Fashion Week 2023
Decentraland, the world’s largest user-owned and operated virtual social world, present the schedule and lineup for the sophomore edition of Metaverse Fashion Week (MVFW), held March 28-31, 2023. Pioneered by Decentraland and UNXD, a leading immersive art & culture platform, and in collaboration with the Spatial and OVER metaverses, MVFW23 demonstrates the potential of interoperability and the newest advancements in digital fashion.
“This year we are honoured to continue the legacy of Metaverse Fashion Week. We are saw the return of many fashion houses, and also the refinement and elevation of digitally-native fashion. We are excited to see some of the world’s greatest fashion minds engaging in the future of fashion,” said Dr. Giovanna Graziosi Casimiro, Head of MVFW at Decentraland.

Texintel invited Estelle Pearce to review MFW here she details her virtual experience:
Metaverse Fashion Week Adventures – By Estelle Pearce
Metaverse Fashion Week 2023 was the event every digital fashion enthusiast had been waiting for; the four-day event from March 28th to the 31st, saw over 60 iconic brands, digital fashion houses, artists, and independent designers showcase their latest creations in an unforgettable extravaganza of runway shows, immersive experiences, shopping, after-parties, and live discussions with this year’s theme ‘Future Heritage’.
For its second year, MVFW23 was bigger and better than ever, transporting us to a true Web3 experience where designers showcased their collections in unique virtual spaces on Decentraland (DCL), Over, and Spatial. It was the perfect opportunity for fashion lovers to hop between events, experience specially created wearables, and show our appreciation from the comfort of our own homes, and let's not forget, the worldwide attendees making it all the more inclusive and accessible.
Logging into DCL, I connected my wallet (you know I can't resist freebies!), created my personal look, checked the map and schedule of events, and set off to explore. Teaming up with Dressx and UME the Dundas show was one of the highlights of the week, which saw models emerging from portholes wearing the latest looks hot from Paris Fashion Week, as they strutted their stuff, leaping and spinning high into the air.
Other shows included Adidas, House of Barth, Haus of Feugo, Dhingia, and the ‘Anti Fashion’ catwalk to celebrate the spirit of Vivienne Westwood, as well as daily community events with creators invited to walk the runways.
Moving into the newly created Neo Plaza area
Saw Neo Designer focused on the next generation of fashion designers and included, The Fabricant, Known Origin presenting Stephy Fung, Institute of Digital Fashion (IDOF), Meta Fashion House, alongside Cristobal Balenciaga, Adidas, and newcomer to MVFW Coach who created a pink town and transported us inside the Tabby bag as we tirelessly danced to cool tunes.
Transporting to the Luxury District
Here is where you found the main runway and high-end boutiques including Dolce & Gabbana, DKNY, and Dundas alongside digital fashion superstars Auroboros, as well as the Tommy Hilfiger Monolith which held a creator challenge in partnership with Dressx to create ai generated Hilfiger, looks.
Tired of shopping hitting The Fabricant’s space and doing the gabber time dance was a must; and for those who needed to take a break, Alo Yoga was on hand to offer expertise in yoga and reiki sessions. Parties were hosted by Diesel, Mango, The Fabricant, Mercury Dasha, and Roland Lifestyle with live DJ sets from the latest and hottest music heavyweight; and if you could get in DKNY held the official closing party hosted by MVFW Supermodel Tangpokok and DCLBabydolls.
Reflecting on other’s experiences in DCL I asked fellow digital designer and web3 enthusiast Alexandra aka astroporcelain to give me a round-up on their experience and here’s what she had to say :
“One of the major pulls for me was not only the return of reputable brands entering the digital fashion space but also the rise in independent digital fashion designers selling their wearables on the DCL marketplace, Blanc De Blanc, Ilona Song, and GoldiLox were just a few up-and-coming designers selling incredible wearables. Hanging out with DCL veterans and friends Lyss, Goldilox, and Catherine the Worst helped me to navigate the platform and challenges, gaining a front-row experience at the Dundas show, a Coach pink Tabby AR filter prize, and a Tommy Hilfiger puffer and it was amazing to spot Stephy Fung in the crowds and meet DCL Legend SUPERNINA, responsible for creating the gabber time dance emote for The Fabricant where I spent the final hours at the closing party before being kicked off the server due to heavy traffic. I loved every minute of MVFW23 and I cannot wait for next year.”
Jumping into Spatial
I felt more at ease with the realistic graphics and unique environments, and it was incredible to see Hugo Boss and Tommy Hilfiger trending alongside Artisant, Exclusible X Polycount, and Metaverse Fashion House showrooms.
Artisant X Red Dao's message 'Artisant for Everyone' was evident in their super cool space packed full of collaborative work from independent designers and artists.
Hugo Boss gave us a beautiful immersive showroom complete with digital outfits that allowed us to shop the looks and as you explored the space complete with screens showing the latest SS23 catwalk show from Miami you stood a chance to enhance your digital wardrobe.
Tommy Hilfiger Monolith showroom invited us to hop between platforms and have a chance to own our own piece of digital Hilfiger.
I loved exploring the many spaces and collections from Altr, Digital Fashion Week, Honey, Mutani, and Valaclava and watching live panel discussions from fashion innovators Amber Jae Slooten, Shayli Harrison, Paula Sello, and Alissa Auldekova alongside looping video clips of moments of fashion history, artwork, portals, and digital garments displayed everywhere you looked and I must give a shoutout to Clare Tattersall of Digital Fashion Week, who made it possible for many independent designers like myself to showcase their work.
I was especially thrilled to be showcased across multiple spaces on Spatial and DCL and it was the coolest to dress my Ready Player Me (RPM) avatar in my Euphoria Dress as part of a special collection of limited-edition wearables in partnership with RPM whilst I navigated and explored the many spaces.
Held during MVFW the highlight of the week for me was 'Legacy of Tomorrow' created by Artificial Rome and held on the Soil platform. It was simply mind-blowing! From the moment I selected my personalized look, to walking on the snow that crunched under my feet, to taking in the breath-taking scenery, I was transported to another world as day turned to night.
Beautifully curated by Kadine James of the Immersive kind I stood mesmerized by the giant walking garments from The Fabricant, hōl studio, Altr, and Metara which were accompanied by an intriguing dialogue that further enhanced the sensory experience. This was truly an outstanding display of innovation and creativity that left me thoroughly impressed, and I urge everyone to experience it for themselves!
Overall, Metaverse Fashion Week was an incredible four-day event that left me feeling inspired and energized; seeing my design come to life and being part of such a multicultural music, fashion, and art space was amazing, and my digital wardrobe is now full of cool new looks, I’m already looking forward to what next year will bring.

Rebés's story isn't one of nostalgia - It's a working blueprint for how heritage manufacturers can stay indispensable in a market that rewards speed, certification, and specificity in equal measure. Four million metres of stock mean nothing without the digital printing capability to turn it into something distinctive.
A 150-year name means nothing without the R&D discipline to win a tender for antistatic, carbon-fibre-infused uniform fabric on the first attempt.

What if the next dress you wore never touched the factory floor?
This is no longer a fringe experiment. It is a maturing production model, backed by genuine material science, real circularity, and an AI-assisted workflow that is becoming more accessible by the month.
Her advice to designers and brands alike is refreshingly practical: start small, get hands-on with an accessible 3D printer, and build fluency before the technology becomes table stakes. The businesses that treat this moment with curiosity, rather than scepticism, will be the ones shaping fashion's next decade rather than reacting to it.
The 2027 FESPA Awards are now open for entry, and the message to businesses across textiles, apparel, interiors and beyond is simple: your work deserves recognition. Every gold winner featured here started in the same place every entrant does - with a project they believed was worth submitting.
As the only independent awards programme with 18 categories dedicated to print and signage, FESPA offers a genuinely global stage, with shortlisted entries displayed at FESPA Global Print Expo in Spring 2027.
Colour Is Too Important to Leave to Chance
Print will always be the part of the garment people see first.
But the sum of all parts — the fabric, the trims, the fasteners, the finish — is what determines whether a design actually delivers on its promise. Brands that continue to treat colour as a single creative decision, rather than a coordinated technical discipline spanning their entire supply chain, will keep paying for it in re-dips, delays, and disappointed design teams.
A Century of Textiles, and an Ever-changing World
Few companies can trace their roots back more than a century and still count themselves among their industry's innovators. Texia, headquartered in Monistrol de Montserrat, Spain, is one of them.
But the story of Texia is not simply one of longevity.
It is a story of continual reinvention. As the textile industry has grown more global and competitive, Texia has repeatedly reshaped its business, investing in technology, developing its own brands, and placing sustainability at the centre of its mission. In doing so, it offers a compelling example of how a heritage manufacturer can lead rather than follow through a period of profound industry change. Image Credit: Texia
What are we craving Ultimately?
The instinct to slow down while simultaneously optimising every measurable aspect of life isn't a passing curiosity. It's a structural response to a world that feels increasingly unstable, and it's reshaping what people expect from their homes, hotels, workplaces and healthcare environments alike.
For the design and manufacturing sectors, this means rethinking both product and process.
The Structual Shift is Real and its Already Here
Volumes are moving east, where digital production is accelerating rapidly. Consumer behaviour has shifted.
Demand is now driven by personalisation, shorter buying cycles, and an expectation of near-instant responsiveness. Regulatory pressure is intensifying, with supply chain transparency now a legal and commercial fact in many markets. And margins? They are under sustained, structural pressure.
This is not a temporary disruption. It is a fundamental reordering of how textile manufacturing must operate.
The Challenge: Standing Firm as the Industry Shifts
The wallpaper landscape has changed dramatically. Digital printing has lowered the barrier to entry, spawning countless direct-to-consumer brands and pushing much of the market towards faster, cheaper production.
At the same time, manufacturing in the UK has grown steadily harder - rising minimum wage, national insurance, energy and substrate costs all bear down on margins. Surface Print have embraced all of these challenges - and stand resolutely prepared for the future.
From Helsinki's printing mill to Paris's Le Marais, discover how Marimekko is scaling a design-led brand with purpose, craft, and bold innovation.
But what makes Marimekko's story compelling is not just its aesthetic legacy?
The word "toxic" carries weight. It conjures danger, harm, and things best avoided.
“Yet in the textile industry - Where between 3,000 and 10,000 chemicals move through the supply chain, a reflexive fear of the term is one of our biggest obstacles to progress.”
This article distils the key takeaways and what buyers, designers, and brands should be asking right now.
What Is the Digital Product Passport?
At its core, a Digital Product Passport is a digital record attached to a physical product - For a printed textile product, this means the DPP would capture data on the substrate, inks and dyes used, the printing process and technology, chemical compliance, environmental impact (including water and energy use), supply chain traceability, and end-of-life instructions.
The Market Gap that Changed Everything
Future Fashion was founded in 2019, timed deliberately to coincide with a pivotal moment in global textile technology: the commercial launch of the EFI Reggiani BOLT Single-Pass digital printing system.
The founders recognised that single-pass architecture had fundamentally changed what was industrially possible - and that Pakistan's domestic market had yet to catch up.
Print is no longer defined by the inefficiencies that once characterised it…as advances in production processes and technology have significantly improved its environmental performance.
Taran Rai, Corporate Sustainability Manager at Epson explains why?
The story of what happens when young designers access digital technology is still being written.
What once was a theoretical sustainability goal seems to have shifted into an active regulatory reality.
Is the Textile Market Finally Recovering?
After a difficult few years, there are genuine reasons for optimism. Duncan was candid about the challenges: "The market for textiles has been very difficult over the last three years. I'm not going to hide the truth there. But the tide is turning.“
A profound shift is currently reshaping the sector
Changing consumer expectations demand greater design diversity, faster turnaround times, and sustainable manufacturing practices.
To thrive, interior brands must adapt their supply chains, bringing production closer to the end consumer and moving away from bulk manufacturing.
Digital textile printing offers a definitive solution to these operational bottlenecks.
Digital transformation doesn't announce itself.
It accumulates - one innovation at a time - until an entire industry looks back and realises the ground has shifted beneath its feet. That's precisely where textiles stands today.
The conversations happening now about AI, automation, sustainability, and digital product passports are not theoretical. They are shaping decisions being made on factory floors and in boardrooms right now.
“By leveraging advanced digital textile printing, Marylene Madou has successfully merged traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Her approach offers a blueprint for how independent designers can scale their brands globally while maintaining a minimal environmental footprint.”
The textile industry is undergoing a vital transformation. As the insights from Techtextil and Texprocess reveal, the path forward relies on a combination of sustainable hardware, intelligent chemistry, and seamless digital workflows.
From Zimmer's industrial-scale energy reductions and Stratasys's on-demand 3D embellishments, to Kornit's single-step technical printing and the unified digital ecosystems of NedGraphics and Optitex, the tools for change are here. To stay competitive, brands and manufacturers must adopt these innovations, moving away from fragmented, wasteful processes towards a truly connected, circular economy.
Friedmans stands as a testament to the power of combining traditional textile knowledge with forward-thinking innovation.
“Operating from their UK headquarters, Friedmans now serves a diverse array of sectors, including swimwear, dance, entertainment, sportswear, interior decor, prosthetics, and even pet apparel. With a strategic supply chain that reliably serves clients worldwide”
The apparel decoration industry is decisively moving away from isolated, analogue production tools toward connected digital manufacturing environments.
"Kornit’s unwavering commitment to transformative technology continues to disrupt the status quo. For business leaders and innovators ready to capture the future of apparel manufacturing, the path forward is clear”
