Fashion Metaverse Platform ORTHO launches the first Virtual Runway Fashion Show on October 27th.

The simultaneous display of both the physical show and metaverse experience was well-received by visitors as they can be seen engaging with some of the realistic visual elements as they moved through the metaverse space with their avatars.

Xno Bui, a fashion & metaverse expert, is the creative and brilliant mind behind ORTHO.  With an MBA in luxury brand management from the British School of Fashion, Xno has accumulated experience in several positions, including working with fashion and metaverse companies to help make their dreams a reality.  Her most notable and recent role was Chief Metaverse Officer at Whydah, an up-and-coming Web3 company based in Vietnam.

Stressing the importance of bringing her international experience from the UK to Vietnam, Xno states, “Metaverse in general in Vietnam is still very limited; the products are at a primitive level with a modest number of users.” 

The recent explosion of NFTs and Metaverse trends revealed the desire for people to express themselves in the digital age…hinting at digital fashion possibly being the next big trend.

“After owning stylish avatars, everyone’s next need will be what to wear for their digital avatars. As such, there will be a huge demand for fashion in the metaverse world,” Xno explained.

Though the concept of digital ID has recently become trending as a result of Web3, staying authentic and original in the digital world is still a challenge.

And that’s where ORTHO comes in, giving metaverse lovers the tools to express their originality while maintaining the security of ownership.
