Web3 fashion refers to the intersection of fashion and Web3 technologies. Web3 is also known as the decentralized web and it often involves the use of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). A recent Web3 fashion collaboration comes from 9dcc, the crypto-native luxury house founded by gmoney, and Stapleverse, the web3 platform by streetwear pioneer Jeff Staple.
The 9dcc x Stapleverse web3 fashion collaboration was a Limited Edition Baseball Cap that was unveiled during Paris Fashion Week: Menswear. The release seamlessly blends streetwear fashion with digital collectibles and the launch certainly captures the attention of the luxury, streetwear, fashion, and blockchain communities. The design features exquisite metal hardware, an embroidered pigeon illustration, and an understated luxury aesthetic. Only 250 pieces of the 9dcc x Stapleverse Limited Edition Baseball Cap were made available.
