Season 2 | Part 2. Episode 23 Joanna Hadfield, of the Global Digital Fashion Awards sees the metaverse as an exciting opportunity to combine many of her passions, talents, and experiences from the fashion and filmmaking industries. She’s leaning into this joy and opportunity by creating the Global Digital Fashion Awards (www.globaldigitalfashionawards.com)—and our Nathan C is rapt and here for every moment of it.

The GDFAs seek to discover, educate, and celebrate the digital fashion industry and help creators tap into this new medium, future, and potentially a new career—fostering safe spaces to learn and an inclusive approach to technology and fashion.

With a high-fashion background and the “nuts and bolts” experience of taking several fashion lines to market; from pattern to runway, Joanna loves being at the forefront of digital creation and the kinds of problems that digital character work presents.

From the physics of the fabrics, to lighting, to the vital role a character’s costume plays in telling their story, XR costume design let’s Hadfield work in her strengths while exploring new creative, expressive superpowers.

You know the GDFAs look to share this inspiration and opportunity with today’s leading visionaries and the designers of tomorrow—there’s even a “sketch category” for children who can share drawings of their ideas and enlist the help of 3D pros to realize their visions.

Yes, in the very near future we may be joyously “speaking ideas into being” with the help of generative AI like Chat GPT, that vision of a magical metaverse requires us to define and enshrine the values of freedom, privacy, and accessibility into the the technologies of today.

Professionals who feel the same way should join the XR Guild (register.xrguild.org) to help add some ethics and humanity to their work in tech.
