Mark Zuckerberg has announced a Metaverse store where clothes for avatars will be sold. The store will support several known brands as well to give it a more realistic feel. Here is what he said:
“We’re launching our Avatars Store on Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger so you can buy digital clothes to style your avatar. Digital goods will be an important way to express yourself in the metaverse and a big driver of the creative economy.
“I’m excited to add more brands and bring this to VR soon too. Eva Chen and I tried out some of the new looks from Balenciaga, Prada, and Thom Browne – a change of pace from my terrycloth sweater.”

Meta’s goal to create a virtual world is approaching completion and the company has many of the important details covered already. It has been rolling out products after products to ready the Metaverse. Its headset, codenamed Project Cambria, will give the ability to blend the real and virtual world. Meanwhile, its Presence Platform will enable developers keep creating content in the virtual plane.
Termed “The Future of Digital Connection,” the Metaverse would be a way to reach people anywhere in the world in ways that video calls and text messaging could never achieve. The company has repeatedly assured the public that it will not make the same mistake it made when building Facebook. Privacy will take center role in its development. “We’re building for the future with privacy, safety, and inclusivity in mind,” Meta said.
