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 Nov 15th- 21st 2021.
Top Moments
Amando Claims Victory at the Monte Carlo Fashion Challenge
A massive congratulations to Richa Sharma- Amando, for winning the “Non-Fungible Star” Awarded by the Digital Fashion Forum for the Monte Carlo Fashion Challenge! What an achievement!
And.. to add some even more excitement to the mix…AmandaFML’s NFT collection “Monaco Space Racing Station” is dropping soon! 😱😱
Fashion x DAOs
Check out this cool mirror article from Phoebe Heess regarding DAOs and Fashion and what this killer combination sets out to disrupting— well, actually, it’s already disrupting everything as we speak. Niccceeee.
Alana Genesis Mirror Mint
Along with Alana’s realm spin up and announcement, she also just released her first mirror article and genesis NFT mint— an 11 edition birth certificate that represents allegiance to the realm and some future cool unlockables, access and utility 👀
I for one can’t wait to follow Alana’s story, understand more about life as a native web3 digi and see how she continues to evolve and shapeshift across the metaverse. Alana, you truly are one of a kind.
Make sure to pick up one of the editions before they are all gone!
Designer Realms and Web3 Patrons
Probably one of the most groundbreaking announcements and deep multi-industry disruptions for all of web3 fashion, the open metaverse and beyond.
Anyone that hoped they could pick a small niche chokepoint to fight over when up against siloed but highly capitalized markets with titanic web2 egos and ethics is starting to see the error of their thoughts and ways.
The real alpha is in enabling 1000's, 10's of thousands, ultimately millions of new designers and creators to become their own label, with their own markets, their own realms, fully metaverse ready, interoperable and making the most of web3 capital and network effects at scale.
Self sovereign, interconnected and decentralised.
Realms are completely permissionless— for designers, metaverse dwellers, and anyone wanting to pioneer this new market.
CLO3D Styling
Check out the cool twitch stream from Paola & Alexander for styling your CLO3D clothes with Photoshop. mmmm fashooooonnnnnnn.
Web3 Digi Models Announced
The digi’s of the metaverse are traversing the plains of the web3 realms. We announced the first 4 across Mona, Alana, Akuchi, Awelewa… with many more to come.
Eager to have one of these web3 digi models host your next virtual event? Or even have exclusive NFTs designed with them featured in it? Maybe you need a charismatic voice to explain what the heck is DeFi?!
Each of these digis will be spinning up their own realms direct to market, and you’ll have every opportunity very soon to start interacting with them and championing them on their journeys.
Welcome New Designers!
We also had new designers join us on-chain, where each was sent their official GDN Membership NFT to represent their first steps into the DAO and unlocking all the cool access and levels up that come with being part of the GDN and the amazing community surrounding web3 fashion.
A massively warm welcome to;

- Marcio Flausino
- I am a multidisciplinary designer and art director from Brazil. My work is focused on design and look development. With my creations, I aim to build beautiful and unique surreal worlds, looking for meaningful and eye catching visuals that tells a story, while gathering inspiration from nature, fashion, architecture and sci-fi influences. Using my graphic design roots to express myself, I'm curious-driven and passionate to search for harmony and balance between shapes and their interaction with the environments they're inserted into.
