A Gucci representative advocated that it’s “only a matter of time” before a brand like theirs joins the NFT space. The report cites various industry sources implying that other luxury fashion houses are planning to launch their own NFTs. 

Multiple other luxury fashion brands are close to launching their own NFTs. For example, recently, the fashion collectibles platform Neuno is operating with five luxury fashion houses on launching NFTs. Furthermore, consumers would be capable of buying NFTs with their credit cards, eliminating the requirement to own cryptocurrency.

In games such as Decentraland and Aavegotchi, NFTs describe rare clothing items, something the fashion world could embrace.
