About Me
Hi, I’m Jess!! A fashion marketing graduate from University of Leeds!
Jess Carfax is a passionate fashion marketing graduate, with a particular interest in the luxury sector and a drive towards events planning and innovative communication. Her final year focus was inspired by the booming gaming market and increased collaborations between metaverse platforms and luxury brands.
Whilst researching consumer trends during my final year, I kept getting distracted by luxury marketing efforts within video games – even ‘borrowing’ my brother’s switch to download Animal Crossing to check out the Gucci, Ted Baker, and Pandora collaborations. Being a consumer of both markets, I was determined to design an enriched user experience, tackling barriers such as inoperability. I wanted to create a space that welcomes everyone, allows digital representatives to become, well, representative, and 'stylise' a digital realm typically associated with action gameplay.
INSPIRATION
Where linear transactions become multi-dimensional experiences … future of retail is 3-dimensional.
Welcome, User! My final project was inspired by my personal experiences engaging with luxury marketing efforts within video games. As a fan and consumer of brands such as Gucci and Balenciaga, I wanted to discover new virtual garments within a range of video games but did not have a clue how to play Fortnite or Roblox! I found myself wishing for a virtual platform specially designed to host luxury virtual marketing efforts, which is how I came up with the hypothetical brand extension Virtual Vogue!
