The award will be presented inside a Roblox experience, and will be presented by a virtual Gucci creative director. The virtual recreation of Royal Albert Hall will allow players to watch the awards. Karlie Kloss, one of the judges, said in a statement that the metaverse space BFC has created in collaboration with Roblox represents the future of fashion.
The virtual event is part of an ongoing fusion of games and fashion. Gucci has collaborated with 100 Thieves and created a fashion experience inside of Roblox. The likes of Louis Vuitton, Longchamp, and Balenciaga have created outfits for games like League of Legends.
