\nBoredpuma, creative agency staffing designers, artists and technologists, has partnered with fashion retailer Splash to release a non-fungible token (NFT) collection, titled Celestial Collection, on Web 3.0,<\/p>\n
The collection, designed by artist Jong Sacil, aims to combine fashion and technology.<\/p>\n
The designs align with Splash\u2019s sustainability initiatives. More than 95 per cent of the fashion retailer\u2019s apparel is made through sustainable processes with eco-friendly materials and fabrics.<\/p>\n
The collection\u2019s designs are based on celestial bodies, such as the sun, moon, planets, stars and constellations, and feature masks of pumas in honour of \u2018Gen 2\u2019 Puma Punks.<\/p>\n
The collection is also inspired by mangas, anime and Y2K aesthetics.<\/p>\n
Holders of the NFTs will be given a digital card to access the collection.<\/p>\n
They will also be given exclusive access to fashion shows and future projects and will be able to mint and purchase NFTs during pre-sale periods.<\/p>\n
Those who purchase the collection will be awarded a Splash badge on Discord.<\/p>\n
Members of the Discord group who are frequently active can reach a \u2018Celestial\u2019 rank.<\/p>\n
Yet to come are 3D card collections, 3D avatars, 3D characters, the development of a game, a semi-dystopian storyline titled \u2018The Celestials\u2019 and an audio-visual experience with original soundtracks to complement the NFT collection.<\/p>\n
Last year, NFT ownership in the UAE was found to be 11.3 per cent higher than the global average, according to a survey conducted by finder.com.<\/p>\n
