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. 🌱
Excited to share a behind-the-scenes WIP of my final project for the VERTICAL x DRAUP Digital Fashion Showcase! I used MidJourney as a starting point for my project, generating images based on conceptual visuals I imagined for visual reference in my design process. Here is just one 🪲 Thank you @pronounceddrop.lens and @verticalcrypto.lens for all the effort put into this showcase and residency as a whole🩸It has been an incredible past six weeks and I am beyond grateful to have had this opportunity. And thank you to my fellow residents for the kindness, laughs and support throughout these last few weeks. If you plan to be in London October 30-31st, you can check out our exhibition IRL at the New Codes Digital Fashion Summit. Will continue sharing process from this project every day leading up to the Digital Fashion Residency exhibition. Looking forward to the final reveal! 🪲
Ready to bloom. This is a work in progress shot of my final piece for the @verticalcrypto.lens x @pronounceddrop.lens residency. It is inspired by 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. Each detail tells a tale of the cultures it is inspired by. A dance, a story, youth, love. Like a flower patiently waiting, ready to bloom…
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

Work-In-Progress Collectible Up until around 2006, Goyard hand painted their patterns on the Goyardine canvas. Although this pattern is equally as good, or better, now with machine printing - we find value in hand made things. Does this apply to code as well? In this work-in-progress, I am exploring the value of hand-coded digital fashion. This could be made in AI, and this could be coded with AI. But it isn't. It's hand-coded. 1 MATIC Follow to collect Limited edition: 20 Part of my explorations during @verticalcrypto.lens @pronounceddrop.lens residency

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.
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 ✨
⚔️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!
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 ;)
Supposed to drop a new generative project next Thursday but I just found out that deploying to ETH is way above my pay grade 😅 Since we're out of the box, where do you suggest I publish it? I wanna try something outside fxhash
