MIAMI, FLORIDA, USA, April 27, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Istituto Marangoni Miami (IMM) is pleased to announce an partnership with global social media app, ZEPETO, which will enable designer brands to accelerate their entry into the Metaverse. IMM students will work with designer fashion brands to create 3D designs and showcase them in ZEPETO, where the designs can be purchased.

ZEPETO has over 300 million registered users and caters to several major global markets including South Korea, United States, Japan, and China. Having worked with fashion powerhouse brands like Gucci, Nike, Zara, Adidas, Dior, Ralph Lauren, and MCM, IMM believes ZEPETO is the perfect partner for this forward-thinking collaboration.

“At Istituto Marangoni, we encourage students to embrace trends that represent the future of business and culture alike. This partnership with ZEPETO is the next step in expanding the Marangoni brand in the Metaverse and being a part of the immense opportunities that platform will no doubt produce in the coming years,” said Istituto Marangoni Miami’s President, Hakan Baykam.

Marangoni students within the fashion design program will create clothing collections using Blender, a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D-printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, virtual reality, and, formerly, video games.

This only-one-of-its-kind collaboration will give Istituto Marangoni Miami students the unique opportunity to take their design skills into the future, as they create Metaverse collections for major designer brands. Marangoni intends to use all revenue made to fund student scholarships at IMM through The Miami Fashion Foundation.

“We’re excited to be the platform where IMM's fashion students will experiment with virtual fashion and launch 3D apparels with top brands,” said ZEPETO’s Head of Business, Ricky Kang.

Various global companies have seen a surge in sales coming from Metaverse investments, allowing for new revenue streams. In fact, the Metaverse is expected to grow into an $82 billion dollar industry by 2025. Istituto Marangoni Miami is proud to be a technology pioneer exposing its students to the digital design industry, while working to support emerging talent as they develop and launch their innovative designs for the Metaverse.

This unique collaboration not only offers fashion brands entry into the future of fashion through exposure within the ever-growing Metaverse, but also the opportunity to support young creatives by partnering with a global fashion university educating the next generation of style stars.
