Top Moments
Recognising What’s Happening in Ukraine
With millions currently at risk from Putin’s assault on Ukraine, and many of us checking for updates everywhere we can, it is important to recognise that one of our own member’s of the Global Models Syndicate, Emanon, is designed and brought to life by Alyona Briukhanova, who is currently on the ground in Ukraine and experiencing all of the conflict live. It can be incredibly frustrating wanting to make a difference and not knowing how. We all know that words are not enough. For those who want to support directly, UkraineDAO is a good place to start.
Launch of Runway Marketplace
It’s only been 1 week since the launch of the Runway NFT marketplace— a massive milestone for the initiation of web3 modeling and bringing this industry into the open metaverse. You can view all collections live on the marketplace now!

2/22/22 Locale Event Bushwick BK
Two members within the GMS, Aggy and Szn, held a local creative pop up on the 22nd of Feb. It was such a vibrant event with so many creatives across modeling, fashion, music and art coming together to celebrate each other and the local talent of the area.
At events like these, NFTs are really powerful mechanisms to open up a wide and novel diversity of new ways to form relationships between the people that are showing up IRL, new channels for engaging in sales, opportunities to collaborate between artists and industries, and, most importantly, ways to reduce friction and increase self sovereign flexibility in the exploration of interesting mediums.
