Indian Label Papa Don’t Preach By Shubhika Is Set To Enter The Metaverse
One thing that has made it to fashion’s favourite dictionary today is–’Metaverse.’ An idea that every brand hopes to explore and a universe that many seem to have already found a seat in, designer houses are on a journey to curate their mark in the other verse. With the rapidly growing industry, making alterations with respect to its consumer needs, NFTs have been enjoying well-deserved popularity in the current times. That’s why every luxury label, Gucci being the recent, is tapping into that space with full force.
Not just that, but the idea of presenting designs on a platform that is set in the other verse, is attracting the brightest minds in the business. And this curiosity to explore the fresh air also led to the first fashion show in the metaverse, which welcomed every key name that has weaved the philosophy of fashion today. While something like this, seems like an experiment to Indian markets, label–Papa Don’t Preach By Shubhika has confirmed it is tricky but not impossible.

According to reports, the brand earlier showcased its collection at India’s first-ever Metaverse show, hosted by WICCI (Women’s Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry) in collaboration with WEF (Women Economic Forum), and the India-Austria Bilateral Business Council. While this is a major step taken by any Indian fashion label, other big players in the business like– designers Raghavendra Rathore and Anamika Khanna earlier dropped NFTs, with Manish Malhotra leading the troop by being the first Indian designer to do so. Well, this is pretty exciting for both the designers and their target audiences and we only hope to see more such developments made in the Indian fashion space.
