THE METAJACKET, the future of fashion born from gaming

Editorial is open for submissions: [email protected]

Since the COVID era, a lot have changed, new questions and disruptions are brewing, innovation is happening from every corner of the globe, NFT’s and digital art are leading the way,  creators energy and synergies have never been so powerful.

One sector that has been the most impacted by it is the fashion industry. With retail stopped, fashion shows on hold, factories slowed down, everyone wonders : what is the future of Fashion ? 

We think the future of fashion will come from a new generation of creators, and will happen in augmented reality, have skins, IRL and in game. 

RTFKT Design

We designed the METAJACKET to be a piece you’d be proud to wear in the streets, and in game. An over the top puffer jacket, enhanced with mechanical anime ears and cuffs, dynamic screens and power levitating necklace. With the Metajacket design, we wanted to bring to life the cultures we love and come from to make something truly unique that will inspire the next generation of designers. 

“Retail” Distribution

We’re approaching NFT platforms as retail stores, with each getting an exclusive edition, replicating a known exclusive fashion distribution mechanic, selecting unique retail destinations with exclusive designs. A bit how you can find unique Comms des Garçons designs in different Dover Street Market. SuperRare has the exclusive METAJACKET OG Edition, and DIGITALAX the 4 Artists skins 

Artist skins

RTFKT being a creator led brand, we wanted to feature some of our favourite artists and creators by giving them our latest creation to skin and make their own. For this drop, we’ve enlisted some of our favourite creators, coming from different background, to skin the Metajacket. Their designs are available as auction on DIGITALAX, and we do a rev share with all these amazing artists.

We believe AR is the future of fashion.
