The Thread Weekly is your best source for a quick debrief across the latest news, actions, events and happenings in web3 fashion, the open metaverse and beyond. It’s curated and published by DIGITALAX and the Global Designer Network.
Weave your way through the threads below to get all caught up on the culture from Dec 27th 2021 - Jan 2nd 2022.
Top Moments
Layer 2 Strides
A small year in review reflection of projects making strides on Polygon Network… and a quick reminder of how fast web3 fashion has appeared on and completely aced the web3 x metaverse scene…..I mean… do you remember the $171K auction in March.. that was incredible and just such a small window into what metaverse fashion even is.
Phoebe Heess First Drop
Phoebe Heess just released their first realm NFT drop and it is absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥 … inspired by Akira!! You can check out the full post here and dive deep into all of the additional perks and utilities they are providing for NFT buyers, including the coolest digi-physical burn mechanism and token rewards from sales for all holders!
Pilllzzzz
Domingo has an amazing red pill blue pill inspired boots drop coming out shortly on DIGITALAX…..what do you choose? Or does it even matter if everything is turning into a video game anyway? How do we transcend even the illusion of choice? Food for thought.
Chelsea Gallery NYC: High Line Nine
Last Thursday there was an underground web3 fashion gallery event held in the High Line Nine, Chelsea, NYC, filled with interactive screens and activations across the web3 fashion designs. It was organised by Gelso Art , No Fun Studios and Emma. A big thank you Gelso Art and No Fun Studios for all of the amazing set up!! Go check out their work and also a short vid here….. many more to come as we take over this city!!!
#BringYourOwnFilter
ALTERRAGE organised a bring your own filter event… what a sick idea?! And damn, did the filters get repped 😎😜… the metaverse truly will be incredibly diverse and exciting when it comes to how we all are able to fully express ourselves across so many different realms.
Copyright Cartel: 0 (CC:0)
The CC:0 DAO launched on the Patrons Collector DAO platform as a collaboration between F₃Manifesto and TECHN0M0RPH.
The Copyright Cartel: 0 (CC:0) DAO is a dedicated Web3 Creative Commons DAO, focusing specifically on indie fashion and other creative derivative markets for cultivating well capitalised open source.
This DAO exists to accelerate the entire creative world to the long overdue, very near future when control over creative works no longer ruin so many lives. Ultimately, this is due to the abuses Copyright Cartels and the fake promise that a certificate on paper of permission from them will mean any more than pennies for original creators.

DYEEEEEEEEEE
RAW Apparel released their first digi-fizzy Tye Dye Tee! You can read more here. Get in fast… already 5 have sold out! The RAW Realm is bridging the physical 2 the digital and what better way to rep that than with psychedelic swirling style.
$W3F Into the Wild
What a super exciting time… the second dedicated fashion liquidity token, $W3F, went live on the market just a few days ago and is being distributed through the $MONA Staking platform, $W3F Staking platform and The DLTA System.
The first utility for $W3F comes with the Realm Runway events… the first one is to be hosted in New York City during NY Fashion Week, one of the most active metaversal cities on the planet, and at the very centre of fashion, modeling and more. It’s the place to see and be seen. To make it here and everywhere.
When you stake $W3F/USDT LP in the new dedicated $W3F staking platform of a minimum of $200, you will be eligible for receiving a ticket to attend these Realm Runway events. (For the first Runway event… all LOOK Golden Ticket holders will be eligible for attending 😱👻).
Music x Fashion NFT Drop
The very first open source music x fashion NFT was dropped on the DIGITALAX fashion marketplace this week by ENKI, Midwest Misfit and Tom Blaidd.
It is such an interesting intersection of some of the most prominent and potent sectors of culture. And, if we really deep dive across the entire music industry it would be impossible to imagine it without fashion.
LOOK Guild on The DLTA
The LOOK Guild also launched on The DLTA Platform where now all LOOK holders can stake their LOOK Golden Ticket as membership to the guild for appraising NFTs and receiving staking rewards across $MONA, $W3F, $DECO and $DLTA.
Metaverse appraisals are such a key component to backing more substantiated value, and insighted data behind the continued hypergrowth of the web3 fashion market.
Start staking here! And, if you didn’t mint your LOOK already, you can still mint some here!
