Companies including Gucci, Nike, Burberry and Louis Vuitton are actively experimenting in the Web3 world, launching NFT collections, virtual apparel, multiplayer games, gallery spaces and more. Over time, more fashion brands will shift the way they build communities and deliver experiences in line with the tenets of decentralization and user-owned assets on which the entire Web3 movement is built.
