TL;DR
A $40B digital wearables industry is booming in the gaming industry. NFTs are a natural market fit.
8 of the top 10 trad fashion apparel brands are working w/ NFTs
Social media NFT compatibility and advancements in AR/VR filters are two of the ecosystem's biggest unlocks

The space is divided into three main verticals:
Un-Real Life (URL)- Digital wearables on a digitally native being/PFPs
On Real Life (ORL)- Digital wearables on real-life beings. Digitally rendered or AR/VR filter
In Real Life (IRL)- Networked product, IRL clothing w/ NFC chip

URL fashion will be integral in curating a digital identity. While early, URL NFTs are the most prominent use-case in fashion NFTs.

The digital accessory shop uses storytelling to bring holders into their ecosystem
A leader in the space with a stacked team (@beeple, @guyoseary, @wenewlabs) the complex project will eventually have a more user-friendly structure
Major partnerships w/ BAYC & Gucci

To this point, URL fashion has yet to realize its full potential
@y00tsNFT / @frankdegods announced an interesting URL fashion mechanic. Having crypto-native artists make fashion for y00ts that holders could exchange for stakable 'y' token.
A lot of potential in this vertical

ORL fashion has massive potential in mainstream adoption and the 1/1 NFT industry.
With social media NFT compatibility in the works, our filter-crazed culture will naturally embrace ownable (NFTs) filter fashion.

The hurdles?
Fragmented marketplace volume and lacking tech are currently handcuffing the ecosystem.
Also, how will we display fashion NFTs?
Our space is dominated by text-based queues (twitter, discord) and anonymity, a platform to flex visual fashion NFTs will be essential

The potential of web3 fashion is massive.
