A new generation of fashion designers are making millions from in-game fashion. Learn more here:
When 22-year-old Samuel Jordan, from Florida, began designing virtual accessories for Roblox three years ago, it was just a hobby — he had always enjoyed designing games and characters as a teenager. But as demand for his intricate virtual earrings, headdresses, hats and garments surged, Jordan turned digital design into a thriving virtual fashion business.
Samuel Jordan has worked with luxury brands including Stella McCartney, helping them translate their designs into the metaverse.Republiqe specialises in turning brands’ physical product into NFTs or in-game wearables for a variety of games or metaverses including Ready Player Me, Decentrland, Zepeto, Sandbox, Fortnite and Roblox, depending on the brand’s target audience.
That potential could be heading mainstream. In the south of England, University of the Creative Arts is one of the first institutions worldwide to launch a digital fashion design course, led by demand from students, says Neil Bottle, UCA’s Fashion Textiles programme director, who helped launch the course in 2021. “Our students are so well equipped for the future. When they go for job interviews they'll likely know more than the people interviewing them,” he says.
Each Roblox player spends around $1 dollar to get R$100 robux, based on the current exchange rate. When a virtual item is sold, 30 per cent of the Robux goes to the item creator, 40 per cent to the item seller and 30 per cent to Roblox. The robux must then be exchanged into dollars, where Roblox also takes a fee. So, for a $R100 robux sale, equal to around $1 dollar, the creator could walk away with 10.5 cents after it’s converted.
Blueberry’s business is global, with 40 per cent in the US and the rest split across Latin America, Europe and the Middle East, according to the company. Its user base is predominantly women, with an average age of 22. It estimates that women make up around 45 per cent of the gaming community.
