The Launch of BLK DNM Society
Swedish-American fashion brand BLK DNM has made a groundbreaking announcement with the unveiling of its BLK DNM Society, the first-ever example of connected fashion. This innovative concept combines physical garments with their virtual counterparts, all connected through blockchain-powered hardware and software.
Built on technology designed by industry leader ChromaWay, the BLK DNM Society will give each garment a unique and recordable identity in both the physical and virtual worlds. Furthermore, it aims to reward ethical behavior and grant brand influence to owners.
Digital Garment IDs: The Future of Fashion
BLK DNM’s future clothing lines will incorporate ‘digital garment IDs’ – undetectable microchips that assign a unique and recordable identity to each physical item. These digital garment IDs serve as the hardware element for the BLK DNM Society, which rewards responsible behavior and ownership.
The introduction of these digital garment IDs marks a significant step towards decentralizing fashion brand stewardship, allowing BLK DNM owners to connect virtually through their physical items and even vote on key brand decisions.
Each digital garment ID will create a ‘digital reflection’ of the physical garment within the virtual world, where its history and place within the BLK DNM Society are recorded.
First Appearance: FW 2023 Collection
The first instance of this cutting-edge technology will be showcased at BLK DNM’s FW event in Paris on June 21st. For this initial collection, digital garment ID chips will be embedded exclusively in leather items. Subsequent collections plan to expand this integration into other garments as well.
This revolutionary move is set to take BLK DNM’s commitment to timeless tailoring, leather, and denim of extraordinary quality to a whole new level.
A Powerful Partnership: BLK DNM and ChromaWay
The collaboration between BLK DNM and ChromaWay has been instrumental in bringing this groundbreaking concept to life. ChromaWay, a Stockholm-based company established in 2014, specializes in creating and deploying scalable blockchain solutions for businesses and governments. This partnership has enabled the creation of BLK DNM Society and the integration of blockchain-enabled hardware into fashion garments.

The Impact on Ethical Fashion
The introduction of connected fashion through the BLK DNM Society highlights the brand’s commitment to promoting ethical behavior within the industry. By rewarding responsible ownership and granting voting rights on key brand decisions based on item ownership, BLK DNM is pioneering a new era of transparency and accountability within fashion.
The integration of digital garment IDs also ensures that each item’s history is recorded, further encouraging ethical practices throughout the production process.
As we look to the future of fashion, it’s clear that innovations like those presented by BLK DNM are paving the way for a more responsible and connected industry. With blockchain technology at its core, connected fashion has the potential to revolutionize not only our wardrobes but also our approach to ethical consumerism.
