According to Simon Kim, the CEO of CLO Virtual Fashion, digital garments are set to have a significant impact on the future of digital entertainment and metaverse platforms. The company’s vision is to converge fashion and entertainment with the metaverse and digitize everything.

According to the Chief Technology Officer of Epic Games, Kim Libreri, the integration of superior digital fashion into virtual realms is a complicated undertaking that presents an artistic hurdle for creators of digital garments. The partnership between CLO Virtual Fashion and Epic Games will help designers across various industries create life-like digital fashion garments.
