Swedish-American fashion brand BLK DNM has unveiled the first-ever example of connected fashion (garments that exist both physically and virtually, each aspect ‘twinned’ via technology) with the launch of BLK DNM Society and the integration of blockchain-powered hardware and software into its products. BLK DNM Society, built on tech designed by blockchain innovator and BLK DNM owner ChromaWay, will grant each garment a unique and recordable identity in both the physical and virtual worlds, while also rewarding ethical behaviour and granting brand influence to owners.
Blockchain-powered ‘digital garment ID’ microchips will give each item a unique identity and record of its history. Chips form the hardware element of BLK DNM Society, which launches in tandem and rewards responsible behavior and ownership. This tech will first appear in BLK DNM’s FW 2023 collection in Paris on 21 June.
Some of the first features of the digital garment IDs will include:
