There was excitement all around when Kate Moss appeared in an augmented reality experiment hologram. However, the very first AR experiment that took place in Spring 2021 found more people interested in these experiments.
As you can see, the fashion industry is finally embracing real-time augmented reality, virtual reality, live streaming, and beyond.
This season, KHAITE has built a totally sensory experience by merging a few technologies with more familiar offline mediums.
The brand sent 100 presentation boxes to editors along with buyer packages that were packed with a cream vinyl copy, an enormous printed lookbook of fabric patterns, and individual photos in a leather envelope.
So let’s check out what’s been happening recently in the AR fashion world.
Ukrainian Companies Take Augmented Reality To The Runway
An augmented reality Instagram filter is making the news. Ukraine-based companies FINCH and FFFACE.ME have created a fashion trend by introducing semi-digital clothing that can be upgraded with augmented reality.
One could scan the QR code printed on the clothing, which then activated an Instagram filter that created an AR layer. Designers could then modify these designs and upload them for others to try out.
The end result was that there could be several versions of a piece of clothing, some elements of which did not exist in the real world but were created as three-dimensional (3D) objects stored in virtual reality.

Super-fast 5G transformed the traditional catwalk experience and turned it into a truly immersive experience.
Invitees saw multiple clothing and accessory brands introduce virtual reality components in their shows to make them even more enthralling.
