On|Off explores the juncture where physical artefacts and their digital representations co-exist to foster creative possibilities. Supporting the transition from reality into fantasy and back again, with the metaverse and its endless possibilities.

On|Off Presents three distinct designers Taskin, Oscar Keene and Valaclava, who are all working between worlds to engage with new technology and fuel our inquisitive minds. The On|Off three are already established talents from the phygital space, who are taking their vision to whole new levels with the support of On|Off, an organisation well known in the industry for pushing boundaries of mixed reality.

For this, On|Off will host a ‘real time virtual fashion show’ at LFW, exploring new technology generally seen in gaming and broadcast. The event will take place within a studio environment set up in the Swiss Church, Covent Garden to a select live audience. Spectators will be able to join in the event and interact with the physical garments whilst they are being beamed live into the metaverse alongside their rigged digital avatar.





The showcase aims to present new perspectives of understanding AR, the metaverse, and boundless approaches to the development of the craft of making. On|Offs Founder, Lee Lapthore, also views his creative concept as a tool that has the potential to support sustainable practices and a circular system enabling the exploration of new alternative solutions.

“I am interested in the intersection of hand skills craftsmanship and its representation and construction within advanced technologies. The ways we represent ourselves and exist within digital realms from a fashion context is an area that always fascinates me. I am especially interested in exploring the tools that allow us to do that more seamlessly and with more significant creative potential”, says Lee Lapthorne, On|Off’s creative director.
