Fashion and branding in the NFT world

Seattle NFT Museum Pixel and Thread Exhibition

SEATTLE (PRWEB)
26 August 2022

Today, the Seattle NFT Museum announced its sixth exhibit this year titled “Pixel and Thread.” So many NFT collections play with the concepts of image, brand and persona. Even in our social profile pictures, we adorn ourselves with NFTs as part of our digital identity. What happens when some of our offline representations such as fashion and branding enter NFTs and the Metaverse?

“In this exhibition, we have set out to highlight creators and collectives who give bold expressions of fashion and new representations of Brand on the blockchain. From some of the very first fashion-forward NFTs to fashion made for NFTs, and from seasoned fashion week veterans to experimental metaverse garment designers, we are excited to showcase this holistic and highly nuanced art form that is fashion,” said Joana Kawahara Lino, Exhibition Curator for the Seattle NFT Museum

Exhibition artists

Daniel Alves

Daniela Alves is a Portuguese artist who develops work in several areas from photography and video to digital and abstract art. Despite developing rigid works where she controls most variables, fashion is the one element that deviates from her control, pushing her own boundaries. In order not to limit her artistic vision, she uses several experimental techniques to develop her artworks. NFTs became the culmination of Daniela’s need to experiment and connect with her audience, and a form to further pursue her artistic endeavors.

Hiroto Kai

Hiroto Kai has been designing Decentraland Wearables since 2021. His clothes are inspired by the Japanese traditional clothes called Kimonos. In his pieces he uses very fluorescent and deep colors to draw attention to the details of his clothes. From Kimonos to Katanas, Hiroto is here to help you find your inner Samurai as you explore the world of Decentraland.

Andrew Toth

For over 15 years, Andrew Toth has worked both in the US and internationally as a freelance photographer, specializing in celebrity red carpets, runway shows, designer presentations, concerts, product launches, wildlife and film/television. Andrew likes to capture specific moments in time, creating a single image that will never be repeated. Sight is one of the most complex senses to have evolved on our planet, and he appreciates creating this visual simulation through his photographs. He believes the pinhole camera is an example of the highest human ingenuity, which paved the way for artists and their audiences to engage and connect in a unique way. After years of being a fervent member of the NFT community, Toth decided to finally take the red carpet-ready work into the space. A well-established member of the photography community, Andrew has worked on countless fashion weeks, as well as photographing the Met Gala, among other ultra-exclusive fashion events. Through his work, we get a glimpse behind the scenes of fashion’s crème de la crème.

Andy Huang

Andy Huang is a Taiwan-born, American artist who works and lives in New York City. He graduated from Pratt Institute with a master’s degree in communication design. His two decades of digital experience design background shaped his thinking about simplicity. Andy uses uncompromising flat graphics, precise contours, simplistic shapes and vibrant colours, with quirky and fun sensibilities to create his colourful, playful and expressive work. His intention is to give a new take on mid-century graphic design and add uplifting energy to spread a delightful mood. Andy’s graphic artwork has appeared in design exhibitions including the New York Video Festival at Lincoln Center, the Art Directors Club and the OFFF digital festival. His work has been selected for design book projects such as Worldwide Graphic Design, Young Asian Graphic Designers and DESIGN magazine. NFTs became Andy’s way of making a living from his art and connecting directly with his collectors, as well as creating phenomenally colorful and joyful avatars whose personality shines through, especially through their fashion accessories.
