Double Zip was created to explore and tell the story of contemporary fashion in a new way.
It does so by exchanging ideas and perspectives with couturiers, fashion designers, film, theatre and cosplay costume designers, and creators of garments in the Metaverse.
The format is produced by the M-Cube Foundation and curated by Grita.
