Much has been written about the ‘merging’ of physical and digital under the auspices of ‘Unified Commerce’. At the same time, we’re all in the Metaverse, aka Web3. Are they mutually exclusive?Recent first company Articles looking at the future of fashion on Web3 are starting to fill in some voids.
If Web1 is about “reading” and Web2 is about “reading and writing,” Web3 is about “reading, writing, and owning.” Founder of Farfetch and CEO Jose Neves. According to Neves, fashion is a very human endeavour, one that is at the core of who we are as individuals. Fashion allows us to apply different ‘masks’ based on how we feel, who we want to be, or what we want to portray on a given day. I see it as enhancing the human interaction between curators, creators and the fashion level, not replacing the human connection.”
Neves continues. “For me, the definition of applying Web3 to fashion is applying the principles of user control, user ownership, and decentralized architecture to his case of fashion use.” This technology enables innovation. Even if that means you and your avatar wearing the exact same outfit and becoming a “digital twin”, expanding brand loyalty across the metaverse. Hopefully it’s for the better.

That article set me back April interview I did it with two metaverse change agents. Michael Zakkor When Alan Smithsonare working together in an even stronger undertaking known simply as the mallBilled as a 100-floor, 100-million-square-foot cyberspace “metamall”. The team shared the belief that “retail could drive much of what we call the Metaverse.”
Alan and Michael further believe their early adopters will be the mainstream market of women aged 20-45 with iPhones, rather than “brotypes” with headset-wearing cryptocurrency wallets. They work with fashion houses to sell their products inside malls, work with various brands’ in-house creative agencies, and facilitate “build-outs.” MetaVRseThe studio Smithson founded with his wife Julie. Their secret sauce is the fact that, unlike other similar tools, their engine can be deployed across multiple operating systems, browsers, and devices with little to no code. Virtually anyone can be a creator.
“TheMall is a combination of e-commerce and pure experience. Brands see it as marketing, branding and experiential play,” says Michael Zuckor. “A brand can do anything, whether it’s a pure experience, an NFT, or a combination of commerce and experience. one of them rethink retail A top 100 retail influencer, the future of retail isimmersive commerce, a seamless blend of online and in-store, the essence of unified commerce. No one uses the word “omnichannel” in front of Michael.
Type “tokenomics”
If you want to visit TheMall and trade, then naturally you have to trade in cryptocurrencies. Cryptoassets have fascinated the entire world with some promise of economic opportunities, but they lack substance. You can see and touch the US dollar, but not cryptocurrencies. However, cryptocurrencies are recognized as fungible assets and form the basis of “tokennomics”, a mashup of “tokens” and “economics”.
Non-Fungible Token (NFT) They are unique because they do not share the same value. NFTs are a recent trend and there is a lot of interest in tokennomics, especially with the high profile NFT auctions. Tokenization of assets such as real estate, artwork, photographs, and collectibles by NFTs has sparked a new wave of digital ownership and also demonstrated the potential of tokens.
Is it art?
Art has been at the forefront of cultural change for thousands of years. So it’s no surprise that the artist and her NFTs have a symbiotic relationship. Many relatively unknown talents have entered his NFT art, and today some of the most respected artists and illustrators have expanded beyond traditional media into digital art and his NFT tokens. doing.
recently interviewed Sean Neff co-founder of Goda, who Forbes called a “brand whisperer.” GODA describes itself as “a trusted and curated source for major contemporary artists seeking to explore digital as a new medium”.

GODA also leads consumer, art, music, NFT and fashion celebrities.name like Pharrell Williams, Nina Chanel Abney When Todd James among them. Many of GODA’s artists have built up a significant following and reputation in the “analog” art world before entering the world of digital art and his NFTs. As a trusted partner, GODA respects the artist’s art values and provides a seamless and impactful drop.
take a brand stand
As Sean said at the beginning of the interview, the world of NFT art is a crazy new space. Barriers to entry are very low and, unlike analog art, there are no middlemen or gatekeepers, so it has a strong following. As a result, especially in the last year, many artists, illustrators and graphic designers have jumped into the pool.
Besides the low barriers to entry, the “tokenomics” behind the transaction are very attractive. The artist who created the original effectively retains ownership of the original artwork, even though it was created for a limited number of his NFTs “alive” in the Web3 metaverse.
On the selling side of the equation, it takes considerably more than artistic creation and NFT ‘casting’ to attract attention, let alone for a piece to achieve lasting value.According to Shaun Neff , 99% of people who put their work out there don’t hit anyone’s radar, let alone the “whales” and big collectors who rule the world of digital art collecting.
In the true spirit of a seasoned brander, Shaun said artists must move beyond their creative genius and engage in highly strategic and calculated undertakings designed to build buzz. I’m here. That’s where GODA comes in.

As a modest collector of contemporary art, I appreciated Todd James’ satirical, often political, and very pop/street art aesthetic. I can’t help but think of mid-century artists like Oldenburg. At the time, it was a big deal for these pop art icons to issue new print editions of, say, a dozen images. may have become available. By comparison, Todd James’s 1,500+ images are one-of-a-kind, each with its own digital “fingerprint.” Certainly, Warhol would have been impressed.
