DRESSX - For the brand conscious
Why them: Think literal wearable art, with paintings like Van Gogh’s Starry Night and Sunflowers on dresses and sweatshirts. DressX features 60 designers on board and more than 700 items available on their site, according to co-founder Daria Shapovalova, making them the largest digital fashion retailer in the market so far. With curated collections to shop from such as “DressX Starter Pack,” “Digital Couture,” and “Dress(X) for Success,” the fashion house streamlines its collections to help buyers make a decision on what to get.

REPUBLIQE - For the party people
Why them: With 22 years of experience in the fashion industry behind him, founder James Gaubert started Republiqe to help solve ethical and sustainability issues. That said, being part of the movement doesn’t mean the party has to stop. Republiqe is home to lots of outrageous and luxe pieces, including iridescent shimmy jackets, chrome ruffle dresses and pixie costumes. If these pieces existed in real life, they would fit right in at celebrity parties, but luckily for the environment, they do just as nicely on Instagram feeds as well.

THE FABRICANT - For the 3D fashion pro
Why them: That iconic $9,500 dress, the first-ever digital fashion collection with Carlings - this was the fashion label that did it. Instead of having customers pay for editing services, the Fabricant provides its outfits in “ffrops” (free-file-drops) for them to use on 3D software applications on top of its occasional auction and sale pieces.

RTFKT - For the sneakerhead
Why them: Known for their sneaker rendition on Tesla’s Cybertruck that sold for $35,000, RTFKT (pronounced “artefact”) is the digital sneaker house inspired by gaming and the digital world. Founded in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, the team behind RTFKT makes use of Blockchain technologies and Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs) to make every digital sneaker purchase unique and easy to track throughout various virtual worlds.

TRIBUTE - For the cyberpunk crowd
Why them: Digital clothes are already fashion-forward, but Tribute takes it to the next level with their cyberpunk pieces that are totally out of this world. Featured in Vogue and Hypebeast, their collection heavily features reflective outfits in neon green, purple and black. For skin-tight plastic dresses (but without the squeeze) and garments that look like they belong in Tokyo in the Year 2900, pay Tribute a visit.

XR COUTURE - For the designer at heart
Why them: While founder Subham Jaim is currently based in India, his designers come from all ends of the globe. They produce a multitude of fantastical pieces to choose from, from glass sneakers to mythical mermaid gowns. On top of that, as one of the pioneers of digital fashion, he’s keenly aware of the challenges designers face when designing digitally. The solution? An open and collaborative approach that welcomes emerging designers and guides them along to sell on the platform. For those who love digital pieces and want to start creating their own, this is the place to be.
