Fashion NFTs: Why Dolce & Gabbana and Other Fashion Brands Are Staking Their Presence in the Metaverse?
Companies are increasingly turning to the internet to gain new customers and expand their reach. This is particularly true for luxury fashion brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, searching for innovative ways to create unique and exclusive experiences for loyal customers. Non-fungible tokens or NFTs paired with luxury fashion offer an exciting new opportunity for people who appreciate unique art and collectibles to invest beyond the physical world.
Dolce & Gabbana Ventures Into the World of NFTs
Dolce & Gabbana debuted in the metaverse marketplace with its first NFT collection named Collezione Genesi. The collection, personally designed by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, commanded high prices and worldwide attention. Offering both digital assets and physical pieces, this first launch successfully bridged the physical and metaphysical for the brand and staked its place in the metaverse marketplace.
Following its NFT debut, Dolce & Gabbana launched the DGFamily community. It is a one-of-a-kind tiered membership categorized into three distinct boxes – The Black Box, The Gold Box and The Platinum Box. Each family box takes holders on a journey between the real world and the metaverse with exclusive digital, physical and experiential experiences.
Dolce & Gabbana is continuing its presence in the virtual world, with a Disco Drip collection that includes disco-themed wearables that players can claim and show off in the virtual world.
Why Would Consumers Want To Invest in Dolce & Gabbana’s Digital Assets?
Fashion NFTs have struck a chord with audiences and the market is exploding. The digital and augmented shopping experience is immersive and engaging which benefits both the audience and the brand.
Exclusivity
The attractiveness of owning NFTs can be traced to one’s desire for exclusivity and distinguishing oneself from the rest. The demand for high fashion is similar. Consumers want something extremely valuable, unique, personalized and collectible.
Unique Loyalty Program
Dolce & Gabbana give their family box community early access to new products, pre-sale limited drops of physical products, admission to exclusive events and private communities, and much more. More and more luxury brands understand the importance of exclusive benefits to strengthen customer connections.
Financial Incentive
Owning a brand’s digital collectibles encourages customers to engage more people with the brand and become true brand ambassadors. Like physical collectible items, digital assets also can appreciate financially as well.
Metaverse Fashion
Growing blockchain-backed NFT marketplaces such as Decentraland enable customers to wear their digital fashion through the metaverse and participate in virtual fashion shows that include participation from many luxury brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Karl Lagerfeld, and Tommy Hilfiger.
Strong Community and Tailored Experiences
A successful NFT project almost always builds a strong community and facilitates connections with a brand and its supporters. A report shows that when brands offer personalized experiences, consumers are 80 percent more likely to make a purchase.
Luxury brands are increasingly integrating NFTs into their marketing and expansion strategies. Dolce & Gabbana as well as other fashion brands, is grasping this new and exciting field and its opportunity to reinvigorate its brand, reach its audience, engage in an innovative way, and generate revenue.
