Why the $1.7 Trillion Fashion Industry Is Going Digital

The co-founder and managing director for FirstLight, Megan Kaspar is renowned as a champion of digital fashion. In October 2021 she became the first person to wear NFT clothing while giving a video interview and was featured in Haute Living’s Miami issue wearing a digital outfit by luxury fashion designer Fendi. 

Kaspar took an early interest in crypto, investing in Bitcoin in 2011. She is now a founding member of the fashion-centered Red DAO, a group that purchased one of the most expensive fashion NFTs of all time, The Doge Crown by Dolce & Gabbana (423.5 ETH). A staunch advocate of the environmental and social benefits of NFT wearables, Kaspar was recently honored in nft now’s NFT100.
