Iranian-Dutch musician Sevdaliza is the new face of the XXories facewear range by The Fabricant, which introduces digital wearables in the form of virtual earrings, piercings and nose changes that can be sported in augmented reality.
The collection of facewear distinguishes itself with designs that not only sit ontop of the face but appear to piece the skin, making the digital alterations look more lifelike. Additionally, each item works as a key that unlocks access to future collections.
This collection represents the debit of The Fabricant’s Wholeland digital fashion project, which is based on "embracing your shadow so you can freely express your whole self." Created with motion capture and technology by Unreal Engine, Sevdaliza appears as a digital twin.
