U.S. fashion designer Asher Levine takes fashion innovation up a notch.
He uses the latest technology to create unique and cutting-edge designs. After years of conceptualising virtual fashion, Asher says now we have technology in our pockets to wear virtual fashion.
"As humans we have always kind of yearned for nature, we like exotic skin, but to me what is the exotic skin of the future? I think we can go beyond furs, we can move beyond exotic reptile skins and now we can create our own skins using technology," he says.

Asher says he has always been obsessed with adding body extensions and how we can make it sexy on the human form.
Celebrities like Doja Cat, Rita Ora and Lil Nas X have given Asher a nod. They have worn some of his distinct designs.
"To me virtual fashion is a new virtual fabric layer on top the body. I am excited for new ways we can express ourselves and how we express ourselves in virtual environments," says the designer.
