Fashion has not only entered the Metaverse, but it has also established itself as one of the pillars of the ecosystem. Diversity, dissolution, e-commerce, self-expression, sustainability, AI technology, non-fungible tokens (NFT\u2019s), cryptocurrency and community, are at the heart of this new era in fashion.<\/p><p>\u00a0Many may wonder what a future in the Metaverse means. For AFWME, it\u2019s having a virtual and digital space that can reach anyone, anywhere and anytime, where space and time is no longer defined, and endless global accessibility is possible. Breaking barriers where the community targeted can engage with brands that will curate spaces and experiences inside Semblance World. Storytelling and bringing communities closer will allow African brands to access consumers like never before.<\/p><p>\u00a0Therefore, through their showroom, AFWME will be able to showcase their designers\u2019 work to any audience across the world while staying true to new-age principles and aligning with Dubai\u2019s vision of becoming a city of the future driven by technology, innovation and sustainability.<\/p><p>\u00a0AFWME is aligning this vision to be the first and new fashion phygital (digital and physical) experiences and ahead of all the local fashion weeks and African fashion weeks by aligning with the Metaverse strategy \u2013 to be revealed at the Assembly by HH Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.<\/p><p>\u00a0Semblance World also plans to host other fashion events, weeks and brands spread across its Metaverse offering new opportunities to engage Gen Z and other tech-savvy, young consumers, who according to McKinsey\u2019s, spent an average of eight hours per day on screens in 2020.<\/p><p>Endless digital possibilities will continue to expand organically as fashion leaders continue to capture untapped value streams, and explore new routes to creativity and commerce while democratizing the industry.<\/p><p>\u00a0<i>For further information on the metaverse world, please visit: <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/semblance.world\/\"><i>https:\/\/semblance.world<\/i><\/a><\/p><p>\u00a0Showroom built by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefashionforesight.com\/\">Fashion Foresight\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8799560 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8799560\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6d0f832\" data-id=\"6d0f832\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-5fc3249 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5fc3249\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-e6be6a2\" data-id=\"e6be6a2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-518125e elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"518125e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=KpFOJHuoQyQ&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
