Redefining Fashion with 3D-Driven Experiences
A recent YouGov poll reveals that 65% of British consumers either shop for clothing primarily online (37%) or split their shopping between online and offline (28%). Eurostat also reports that apparel was the most purchased item online in Europe in 2023. As the dominance of online clothing shopping grows, platforms like Portal:M have greater opportunities to innovate and redefine digital fashion.
“Digital fashion is reshaping the industry, offering designers and brands new creative possibilities and providing consumers with immersive, sustainable experiences,” said Alan Liu, Co-Founder of Portal:M. “Younger generations, in particular, are driving this change, seeking personalised and engaging experiences. Several Western fashion houses have already embraced platforms like Portal:M to deliver hyper-realistic 3D garments for virtual environments, standing out and deepening customer engagement. This digital fashion movement is more than a trend; it’s transforming the industry. By embracing digital innovation, designers can explore new creative frontiers and offer consumers previously unimaginable experiences. We’re excited to showcase how Portal:M can help brands shine with 3D innovation at London Fashion Week.”
