초록
Since the early developments of Web3 and the Metaverse, the fashion industry has been actively launching initiatives, especially through gamification, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and shopping experience. Up until now the academic literature relating to the implications for fashion brands in a digital fashion marketing context has been scarce. Through a systematic content analysis of 235 articles published between 2021 and 2023 in Vogue Business and The Business of Fashion, this research has focused on the main brands and uses of the Metaverse, as well as their real applications. Through a thorough analysis, this research reveals that the most active fashion sub-industries on the Metaverse are those relating to luxury, sportswear and beauty, with Nike, Gucci and Hermès emerging as the leading brands. Furthermore, when it comes to fashion and the Metaverse, the most popular topics relate to NFTs and gamification, to the point that they are used as synonyms of the Metaverse. This practice creates confusion, not only in terms of the meaning of the term “metaverse”, but also regarding its implications for fashion brands. Finally, the study identifies issues that demand further analysis in subsequent academic research regarding the notion of falsity and the Metaverse.
Abstract
Since the early developments of Web3 and the Metaverse, the fashion industry has been actively launching initiatives, especially through gamification, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and shopping experience. Up until now the academic literature relating to the implications for fashion brands in a digital fashion marketing context has been scarce. Through a systematic content analysis of 235 articles published between 2021 and 2023 in Vogue Business and The Business of Fashion, this research has focused on the main brands and uses of the Metaverse, as well as their real applications. Through a thorough analysis, this research reveals that the most active fashion sub-industries on the Metaverse are those relating to luxury, sportswear and beauty, with Nike, Gucci and Hermès emerging as the leading brands. Furthermore, when it comes to fashion and the Metaverse, the most popular topics relate to NFTs and gamification, to the point that they are used as synonyms of the Metaverse. This practice creates confusion, not only in terms of the meaning of the term “metaverse”, but also regarding its implications for fashion brands. Finally, the study identifies issues that demand further analysis in subsequent academic research regarding the notion of falsity and the Metaverse.
