On The Table Read, “the best arts magazine in the UK“, the direct-to-avatar fashion design studio, GN3RA, have collaborated with The Royal College Of Art to launch a digitial fashion platform.
The world’s first fashion metaverse for creators, GN3RA, have partnered with the world’s most influential postgraduate institution of art and design, The Royal College of Art (RCA). The partnership, in collaboration with the RCA Fashion MA programme, will offer bespoke digital creations by 7 leading RCA Fashion Alumni for GN3RA creators to co-design, wear and share on the platform.
GN3RA
GN3RA is a direct-to-avatar fashion design studio where anyone can co-create digital outfits with zero limitations to their imagination, working with selected creators, influencers, brands and media to grow a community of digital fashion ambassadors. GN3RA’s mission is to enable creators to explore and express their virtual identity through digital fashion
Meeting the growing demand for digital wearables and tackling the lack of easy-to-use design software, GN3RA repurposes how people interact with creative tools.
“My vision for what creative tools should be was hugely impacted by my time teaching students digital fashion design. I saw firsthand the technical barriers they had to overcome in order to begin exploring their creative practice. I wanted to break down these barriers and develop a platform that enables anyone to explore their creativity through fashion,” said GN3RA Founder and CEO Lili Eva Bartha.
Collaboration With The RCA
“The beauty of the collaboration with the RCA is that these incredible designers are inviting the world to experience their art in a new exciting and interactive way – by becoming co-creators,” added Bartha.
“We are excited to partner with GN3RA, the first digital fashion platform that is growing and championing emerging talent. Lili has always been such a motivated thinker with social grace and innovation in her soul. We look forward to seeing GN3RA grow and the future digital community be led by such values,” said Zowie Broach, Head of Programme (Fashion MA) at RCA.
The Launch Event
GN3RA will celebrate the Alpha launch on December 6th, in Portlands Place in London, by bringing together emerging design talent, industry thought leaders, creators, brands, retailers and influencers to discuss the future of virtual self-expression.
The Emerging designer roundtable will include selected designers from the RCA partnership, who will have the opportunity to discuss digital fashion and the challenges of customisation, collaboration and monetisation.
The event will include workshops for attendees to create their first digital outfits, alongside VR and immersive installations, with live DJ & VJ entertainment.
