The Metaverse. It’s a little scary thinking about a world exisitng beyond our physical selves, but it’s a world that’s planning to conquer the fashion game too. Now it may be a little too early to see couture looks from the fashion houses of Milan go Meta, but what the Metaverse is seeing: avatars rocking athleisure and active wear. Wait… we thought that the Metaverse was the opposite of getting physically fit? That is clearly not true. Yup, avatars are meeting up in the verse to get in their digital workouts as a form of Meta socialization. We’re also quickly learning it’s inspiring both physical and digital spaces to wanting to move their bodies in trendy, comfortable activewear. Thus, energizing a new fashion movement deemed “phygital” fashion. Brands like Nike and Lululemon have been on this pulse, but there’s another sustainable design & e-comm platform that’s coming up to their level: PhygitalTwin. And they just celebrated their launch of the world’s first ever “phygital” athleisure colleciton, FiT Rx, with health and fitness expert Dr. Robin B.

Why
With the release of PhygitalTwin’s FiT Rx collection, the company has brought experimental ease to the process of trying before buying for their customers. Through AR filters, customers can see themselves wearing the pieces and know how each piece fits their body before ordering it online. This is how it works: you try it on (digitally), purchase the physical item of your digital try on, but at the same time you’ll receive the same item for your avatar that’s tradeable, trackable and transferable. You’ll also have the chance to link the digital outfit to your physical outfit in order to unlock and get access to exclusive videos and workouts from Dr Robin B, plus discounts and future drops. Here’s something else to love about this “phygital” line. Each piece is created on demand which creates zero waste and counter acts the effects of fast fashion. We definitely love that.
