The collection built on the theme of Vivienne’s SS23 show in September. The artist aims to bridge the physical and digital worlds with the help of NFTs/PFPs to unite communities. Further, the fashion designer was inspired by the futuristic vision of a new Hong Kong, where Web3, blockchain, gaming worlds, and immersive experiences coexist and collaborate.
With her striking designs, Vivienne connected the ancient pictograms of China’s earliest language, Oracle Bone Script of 12 zodiac symbols, alongside various blue-chip Web3 NFTs.
“From the beginning of civilization humanity has used pictures to communicate and document our history, now humanity uses pictures to create new currencies, communities, environment and even worlds.” – Vivienne Tam.
