🚨6 Hours Left to check out the VERTICAL x DRAUP Digital Fashion Showcase and Auction 🚨 Our cohort would love the support of the Lens community 💘 Take a look at the link below or in my bio! @lensprotocol.lens @lenscollectors.lens https://orb.ac/post/0x01e1c0-0x2e-DA-efac525b
‘Ready to Bloom’ Exhibited at The Royal Institute in Mayfair, London for the @verticalcrypto.lens X @pronounceddrop.lens showcase at the New Codes event, this piece would be available for auction from 5pm WAT/6pm UTC today, November 1st! I am always greatly inspired by my rich Nigerian cultural heritage, and finding the beauty in contrasts. The elaborate silhouettes that make up Nigerian fashion, and classic and timeless elements from Western fashion come together to create this look from my soon to be released collection! Each detail tells a tale of the culture it is inspired by; a dance, a story, youth, love. Like a flower patiently waiting, ready to bloom… Eternally grateful to everyone that made this happen!🤍✨
Two days of a very beautiful exhibition at The Royal Institution at Mayfair with New acodes, MAD Global hosted by @verticalcrypto.lens.lens x @pronounceddrop.lens.lens showcasing the final work of the residents and followed by its auctioning - starting today at 6PM UTC. 🩰 An Almost Finished Dance 🩰 An infinite 3D dance between mental health state and creative process. A continuous cycle of repetitions, immediate relief, pleasure, and compulsions that are trigerred by intrusive thoughts even in beautiful things like ballet causing us to reflect while counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 mentally in a choreo. Bringing themes like OCD, mental health and our complex creative minds reflected in am URL environment. A personal life experience that I share now. With you. 🩸THANK U @verticalcrypto and @pronounceddrop for this opportunity that forever changed my brain chemistry. For real. Also big thanks to the mentors and my fellow residents that showed how this community supports each other.
I'm delighted to present my artwork for the final exhibition of @verticalcrypto.lens x @pronounceddrop.lens displayed at Mayfair, London "Confronting Habitat” a 1/1 ed for auction starting at 0.1 ETH With a 24-hour collecting window Auction begins at 2 pm EST / 18:00 UTC. After six weeks of top-tier mentorships, learning, and sharing experiences with an incredible cohort of fellow artists, we have cultivated invaluable connections that will endure through time 🫶 For this creation, I reflect on the concept of self-manifestation and self-expression within an underdeveloped context and how the inhabitant confronts it. The garment design draws inspiration from boxing shorts, and for the overall piece, I employed a blend of various tools, including Cinema 4D, Marvelous Designer, ZBrush, Substance Painter, and 3D scanning. I hope you like it!

C2W RUNWAY TEASER - 75 UP FOR GRABS, FREE FOR A WEEK, ONLY FOR FOLLOWERS! Hey everyone 🫵🏼🫠 After a rollercoaster of a journey with the 7th Cohort at @verticalcrypto.lens x @pronounceddrop.lens here I am presenting you: the #C2W VRM collection! Over 6+1 weeks, every day was a new adventure - playing around with garments, bodies, textures, and lots of new tricks and treats. All to dig deeper into the concept of what an Avatar can really be. The result? I don’t know, to be honest, it is such a new area to explore for us.🧸 So, what's C2W? "Click-2-Wear", is an experimental take on fashion in the virtual world, consisting of 16 unique avatars ready to mint for 0.08 eth, only if you attend the event. 🥻🩸 On the 30th, during our Final Exhibition in London, 100 tickets for metaverse fashion runway will be on sale, only for a day. The artwork used in the ticket hints at the concept, but it’s more than that, believe me. That might be your best metaverse experience ever, in 10 minutes in total. Each ticket comes with a free C2W Avatar! So when you grab your ticket, you get a cool avatar to go with it. “The Viewer”. When the ticket sale is complete, all the ticket owners will be able to get into the token-gated zone where the magic happens. And it’s all happening on 7th October at Hyperfy and Mona. Take a sneak peek attached to this post - it’s a little taste of what’s to come, with Polaroid shots of some selected fits for the drop. It's a small thank you for following along. What do you think? Excited as I am? Thanks for being part of this journey! It's easy trade, get your ticket on the 30th, wear your free avatar, join the event, and click to the future💖 Be in touch with me!

Where Gen Art and Digital Fashion collide… Bringing the puzzle pieces together from our two months together has been challenging but exciting. Using my new found love for GenArt that is still very much like a two-year-olds finger painting as a light source, I added an underwater like feel to my 3D digital fashion piece. The final animation will be on display at the New Codes Digital Fashion Summit in Mayfair London 30-31 October 2023 As part of the @verticalcrypto.lens x @pronounceddrop.lens Digital Fashion Residency Exhibition🫧 A WIP 2Matic
Explorations of the harmony between digital clothes and nature through storytelling for the final project of the @verticalcrypto.lens x @pronounceddrop.lens residency. Can we utilize digital clothes as a grounding force, instead of a disconnecting one in this digital era? We will find out soon. 🌱
Among the many benefits of the Residency, my favorite's probably been finding people and ways to merge my too-digital creations with material mediums. This one, for instance is the first (of many) generative stitching patterns, part of my upcoming show -and drop- for the closing show of the VCA Residency. @verticalcrypto.lens x @pronounceddrop.lens
We are finalising our pieces for the @verticalcrypto.lens x @pronounceddrop.lens Digital Fashion Residency Exhibition which will be held at the New Codes Digital Fashion Summit in Mayfair London 30-31 October 2023🫧 Collect my WIP and come on the journey with me to find out how my animated 3D piece came to life↓↓↓
***Our @lenster.lens takeover is back in partnership with @pronounceddrop.lens !!*** *Ahead of our Digital Fashion Residency Showcase next week, our residents will be posting WIPs and previews of their works!* **When? Wednesday 25th October (tomorrow)** **From 9am to 12pm EST** You'll be able to collect the posts directly from here and have a sneak peak of what to expect next week! We can't wait to show you what our residents have been working on!
What some VR freestyle sculpting looks like :) this time for an artwork called Webtopia (Three Point O) about a web3 eden obviously (If any1 interested, the official artwork is available for collecting in the link below oki)
What do you see???
So good to see residents work! Here are some cyber crab ATV goggles l've been working on. Who would want these as wearables?
Using code to create art can sound -and be- a bit too rigid, so I mix some very esotherical processes as an antidote. For instance, I add or remove some families/attributes based on numerology or coin flips. Meaning some interesting outputs never get a chance to be minted. Until now ;)
We have just completed week 5 of the 6 week @verticalcrypto.lens x @pronounceddrop.lens residency🌸 I have been inspired and pushed so much over the past few weeks and I can't wait share what I will be creating for the final piece. Today I have a work in progress that I did a few weeks into the cohort, it is a piece dear to me as it has helped me realize how far I have come and is heavily inspiring my style and way of creating moving forward. I would love for you to collect it! 2 MATIC 10 Editions Follow to collect ✨
Hi there! I had some fun with what I learned these past weeks at @verticalcrypto.lens x @pronounceddrop.lens Digital Fashion Residency and decided to create a full piece to honor it <3 "Mourn-ing 6am" is inspired by that feeling that hits you in the morning after a long night hanging around. As usual, my work is based on my identity and experiences, always aiming to provide comfort and expressiveness within my surreal imaginary. Some of the software I relied on to create it were Clo3d, Zbrush, C4D, and 3D scanning. Limited edition for free (only followers) you can collect via https://hey.xyz/u/gremiana
⚔️Greetings! I’m Lucii and this is my new project Random Process Built in Los Angeles, Random Process is powerful generative digital apparel factory that uses random process sequencing to create unique fashion assets. I hope you join me for this new chapter in fashion and innovation. #genesispost #fashion Here is a image still from the new factory to keep you curious 👀 Special thanks to @verticalcrypto.lens and @pronounceddrop.lens for allowing a spot for me in the current fashion cohort. Let’s get to it!
I just minted https://lenster.xyz/u/addai_davis.lens #lens #genesispost The Chronicles of A Bola (Waste) Girl Since 2015, I have refrained from purchasing new clothing, instead focusing on crafting, upcycling, and mending my garments to address concerns about clothing waste. My commitment to sustainability was reinforced during a research trip to landfills in Ghana. While at the Royal College of Art doing a masters in footwear, I developed an innovative concept centred on waste dictating design. My goal is to create purposeful fashion items with minimal reliance on new materials or, in some cases, using digital counterparts instead. Presently, I am deeply engaged in exploring the demodulation of footwear and accessories, employing data analysis to understand consumer behaviour. I also harness immersive technologies and AI for digital designs and prototyping. My artistic inspiration stems from the heroic narrative of Yaa Asantewaa, an 18th-century Ghanaian warrior who resisted colonialism. I channel her spirit into combating waste colonialism. My core philosophy revolves around beautifying waste, transforming it into coveted commodities. My proficiency in immersive technologies, AI, and world-building empowers me to push the boundaries for a more sustainable fashion future.
Hi everyone! Excited to be here, and to share my first collectible post with you. This is a work in Progress, that was inspired by one of our awesome first classes with @JamesMack.lens. Done in Clo3D, Midjourney and Runway… will evolve and more to come… Thanks to @verticalcrypto.lens X @pronounceddrop.lens #process and my fellow residents! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Free Follow to collect
Hey friends, it’s already October and I’m getting ready to be digitally spooked 👻 I love watching horror movies as a way to experience adrenaline and immediate relief through the soundtracking, textured elements and colorgrading (specially red and black). I have always experience arts in a different way because of sensory sensitivities and compulsions/repetitions that are triggered because of my OCD, so I decided to merge cinema and fashion inside of a very personal project that shows vulnerability but at the same time it’s relatable. It’s week 5 of @verticalcrypto.lens x @pronounceddrop.lens and I’m so inspired by the classes, new techniques and my fellow classmates that are doing wonders to shape my vision sharp like a knife 🔪 Here you can see on of the avatars and digital look that I created for this project that it’s a delicious fashionable nightmare 🩸 so you can collect while following my journey. Hope you enjoy and feel free to drop in the comments feedbacks and “what’s you favorite scary movie”
Hello Lens community! 🔮 My name is Victoria, and I am a multidisciplinary fashion designer creating work at the intersection of science, technology, art and design. This piece is from my collection ‘Children of CRISPR’, which was inspired by CRISPR/Cas9, a gene-editing technology that has the ability to precisely edit in and out segments of DNA 🧬 Perceived before as a feat only feasible within an unrealistic sci-fi narrative, it has now become a viable reality. And although this revolutionary tool has the potential to save many lives through treatments such as gene therapeutics, many have raised ethical concerns over its possible misuse and are fearful of bringing about a world where opportunities are dictated by the quality of your ‘genes’. Thank you to the @pronounceddrop.lens x @verticalcrypto.lens residency for the incredible opportunity to take part in this cohort of talented and inspiring individuals 🩸Looking forward to posting more as the month progresses! 🧬Free to Collect🧬 🧬Followers Only🧬

Celestia- the origin story Exploring the origin story of "celestia" a digital identity Celestia was born in the year 3070 on a distant planet in the Andromeda Galaxy, far from the planet of her ancestors - Earth.

Treading between design and meme, we explore a realm that's sleek, provocative, crafting a digital ambiance that mirrors our evolving selves. As we edge into the digital epoch, #digisapiens reflects on the ephemeral essence of our gadgets, fostering a dialogue between the real and the virtual. It's about peeling back layers, exploring form and essence. tabula rasa. Amidst this abstract narrative, emerges the 7th Seal design, a whisper of the broader #digisapiens vision, encapsulating the art, the contemplation, and the exploration in every pixel. Venture into a half-hour runway show on Hyperfy, a retail space in Mona, transcending virtual boundaries, making the assets universally wearable across any platform.
