What is an NFT in fashion?

NFTs in the fashion industry come in many forms and shapes. Like, online or virtual garments that buyers can try or wear within the virtual world only, online content that owners can interact with, or digital copies of the physical.

Famous brands like Louis Vuitton, Dolce& Gabbana, Gucci, and Burberry, to all the other popular brands. These all have been trying to introduce non-fungible tokens to their marketing effort.
