The collection, named “Ancora” — Italian for an encore — was initially slated to take place near Milan’s prestigious fine arts university, Accademia di Brera. Still, bad weather forced organizers to move the show indoors.&nbsp; 
Nonetheless, its virtual versions kept the original concept and allowed global access and engagement free from weather constraints. 
On the Roblox platform, Gucci’s permanent <a href="https://www.roblox.com/games/7830918930/Gucci-Ancora-Fashion-Show" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">experience</a> underwent a facelift to mimic the physical location of the show in the Brera district. The fashion house also made three mini-games available to visitors to the virtual show, allowing them to win limited edition rewards.

Similarly, the Zepeto platform live-streamed Gucci’s runway show and accommodated elements from Brera and the show in its Gucci Ancora space. Users could also purchase items from the physical show for their avatars from a virtual Gucci store.&nbsp; 
On its part, the Chinese social platform QQ hosted a screening for its Gucci community to join in on the action. 
In recent years, the high-end luxury brand has made inroads into crypto, NFTs, and the <a href="https://crypto.news/miley-cyrus-becomes-guccis-first-celebrity-avatar-on-metaverse-platform-roblox/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">metaverse</a>. It had partnered with Roblox since 2021, when it released a digital version of its iconic Dionysus handbag on the metaverse gaming platform. Initially selling for $6 per piece, the non-fungible token (NFT) accessories saw their prices rise to as high as $4,000, <a href="https://hypebeast.com/2021/5/virtual-gucci-bag-roblox-resale" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">surpassing</a> even the cost of their physical counterparts. 
In May 2022, the company <a href="https://crypto.news/gucci-crypto-payments-us-stores/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced</a> it would start accepting crypto payments in at least five U.S.-based stores, aiming to expand the service to all 111 outlets in the U.S. and Canada. 
Likewise, in March 2023, Gucci <a href="https://crypto.news/gucci-dives-into-web3-with-its-recent-yuga-labs-partnership/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">partnered</a> with Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) creators Yuga Labs following its launch of the Gucci Vault Metaverse on another gaming platform, the Sandbox.
