The sentiment of what a garment has in store proves how it can flourish by time. Going through archives that have meaning brings you back to a feeling that can not be expressed. This is applied through hand-made techniques that involve textiles, thread, dye, or any sort of recreational media. Although everything is becoming future-focused, it is of utmost importance to go back to the craft that started an influence and help to improve it or modify it. Wearing a craft is a different experience and it generates an energy that fulfills the wearer’s credibility.

Many people claim that sex sells, however voyeurism is a sense of feeling, and emotion through one's eyes into another. It combusts a strong purpose into what someone is doing or wearing, and could also be a form of self- love and appreciation. The allure of a person's confidence and mantra allows one to view their sexuality as agency. Most imagery that causes the act of voyeurism can be impulsed from the digital world, and means that a new paradigm will be selling more.

One’s personal choice of the way they articulate themself shows character through the wearer’s personality. It comes down the the sheerness of fabric, the cut-outs of clothing,bodyhugging garments, and the use of its colour and texture. Appreciation is key in our day-to-day life, and the insdustry is always encouraging it. However, voyeurism comes from a place of wellness and sexual suggestion in a positive environment.

44 In a world of constant transformation and feasibility, one must cherish our ability to grasp what can align in the technological aspect surrounding fashion. Physical clothing will always exist, but the impact of the metaverse will be leading it to convey such a range of high-shine metallics, iridescent materials, and bright colours.

The complexity of having a digital illumination of a garment rendering is elevating in an ever-changing environment. It is also a sutainable approach to identify clothing unrealistically but can still satisfy people’s assets. This approach obtains certain feautures in clothes that would be amped in price if purchased in a physical format or that can’t be worn for multiple occasions. It is an essential that elevates social media advertising and pushes fashion boundaries. Slowly but surely, one will be seeing more people wearing digital clothes online than real clothes.

The metaverse also affects other aspects in the fashion industry, such as textures, and prints, two primaries that change the outlook of the garment. Trompe l’ œil inspired visual art is beginning to interlude with the fashion world and intersect in monochromatic colour schemes or generate invigorating ideas such as the heatmap data into printing techniques.
