This year’s theme, “Infinite Identities”, will spotlight how avatars and wearables can reshape self-expression in virtual realms, introducing a new era of personal freedom through fashion.
Since its inception in 2022, MVFW has been at the forefront of merging high fashion with digital innovation. The event continues to evolve, with notable brands such as Coach, D&G, Adidas, and Tommy Hilfiger having participated in previous editions. After a hiatus in 2024, Decentraland’s launch of an upgraded desktop client promises to enhance interactivity, allowing for a more immersive and dynamic Metaverse fashion experience.
The MVFW Prize: Celebrating Emerging Talent in Digital Fashion
The centerpiece of MVFW 2025 will be the MVFW Prize, “The Banners We Wear.” This competition invites students and recent graduates to design digital wearables that represent identity, resilience, and hope. Participants will transform virtual fashion into powerful statements, creating designs that reflect personal freedoms in an ever-changing world. The winner will receive $10,000 USD in MANA, and the designs will be minted as Decentraland Wearables and showcased on the event’s main runway.
Additionally, the event will feature runway shows, virtual showrooms, and live catwalks, providing an opportunity for both established and emerging brands to demonstrate the ever-evolving relationship between physical and digital fashion. MVFW promises to be the ultimate stage for groundbreaking innovation in the digital fashion industry.
A Global Celebration: Wearables Around the World
For fashion enthusiasts, the “Wearables Around the World” catwalk will offer a chance to see digital pieces inspired by cultural heritage. This initiative highlights how digital fashion breaks down geographical barriers, creating a space for storytelling and cultural representation in the virtual world. Fashion is not limited to physical spaces anymore—through Decentraland, designers can showcase their unique creations to a global audience.
For those interested in being part of this exciting event, Decentraland is also inviting 3D creators to submit proposals for new experiences that explore the theme of “Infinite Identities.” Selected proposals will be awarded $2,000 USD in MANA, along with a 2×2 plot of LAND in Decentraland’s MVFW Main Plaza.
These proposals will play a crucial role in shaping the virtual fashion experience, offering creators a unique opportunity to contribute to the future of digital fashion.
