To enable customers to generate digital twins that they can employ to outfit avatars on the Ready Player Me platform, luxury fashion brand Hugo Boss has attached an NFC tag to its baseball caps.
In November 2022, Hugo Boss debuted its NFT collection, Embrace Your Emotions, in collaboration with Imaginary Ones. The collection involved 1,001 3D avatars with emotive themes, actual t-shirts, and a QR code that led visitors to a Snapchat Lens.
Users who have already bought NFTs from the digital collection by Hugo Boss x Imaginary Ones can use their smartphones to scan the NFC tag on the caps to access a virtual copy of the cap and a hoodie.
