Special attention is paid to the role of digital media and online communities in the dissemination of virtual clothing and the formation of new aesthetic practices. The interaction of fashion design with media art, digital graphics and visual codes of modern culture is analyzed.

It is noted that digital fashion is becoming an important element of modern visual culture and a promising direction for the development of the fashion industry.
