The Fashion Metaverse
DREST was launched in 2019, with the aim of making the often exclusive world of luxury fashion to a wider variety of consumers, helping to make it more accessible for a wider variety of consumers and improve their styling talent using the latest brands and collections.
“When we founded DREST, our ambition was to bring the worlds of luxury fashion, gaming and tech together,” said founder and co-chair Lucy Yeomans. “Henri’s appointment is testament to this goal and to the hard work we put in bringing on board the best talent from across these sectors. Welcome Henri!”
Last year, Drest partnered with supermodel Kate Moss for an in-game styling challenge with pieces from luxury fashion and jewelry houses such as Gucci, Messika, and Bottega Veneta.
