The Prada Timecapsule: A Monthly Fashion Experience
Since its launch in December 2019, the Prada Timecapsule has been a monthly event that sends sneakerheads and fashionistas into a frenzy. For a whole 24 hours, exclusive clothing items are available for purchase directly on Prada’s website. This month, brace yourself as Drop #30 kicks off with a bang by introducing an accompanying NFT for the first time. Talk about a fashion double whammy!
NFTs with a Touch of Artistry
Brace for impact as the design of this particular NFT is brought to life with the artistry of Cassius Hirst. His signature mask and brain scan designs will be embroidered into the NFT, aimed at symbolizing unity and togetherness. Who knew that fashion and digital art could collide so beautifully? Now, you can wear your Prada while flexing your NFT collection!
How to Get Your Hands on One
If you’re dreaming of becoming a proud owner of this NFT, mark your calendars for June 2nd. Simply purchase a Timecapsule product, and voilà—an NFT will be gifted right into your digital locker. It’s like getting a free dessert at a restaurant, but this dessert can fluctuate in value. Sweet, huh?
NFT Community’s Mixed Reactions
Not everyone is waving a Prada flag, though. Some members of the NFT community aired their grievances, pointing out that the initial Adidas for Prada NFT collection, while glamorous, has delivered minimal utility value. Currently, on OpenSea, it trades at a mere 0.08 Ether (ETH). With 2,700 owners and counting, it seems the jury is still out.
But What’s This About Kalush Orchestra?
Let’s switch gears to the crossover between music and NFTs! The Kalush Orchestra, winners of the 66th Eurovision Song Contest, recently auctioned their striking pink hat and glass microphone trophy to raise funds for Ukraine amid an ongoing conflict. With a maximum bid of 50 ETH (around $900,000), the highest bidder, European cryptocurrency exchange WhiteBIT, truly hit a high note!
P2E Gaming Takes Off in Asia
And it doesn’t stop there! A recent report throws the spotlight on the play-to-earn (P2E) gaming scene in India and Hong Kong, where NFT games are seeing explosive growth. With an impressive 28.7% of respondents claiming experience with NFT games, these regions are pulling away from the pack, as the U.S. lingers at a humble 9.4%. Who knew gaming could be so globally interconnected?
Celebrity Culture Meets NFT Challenges
In yet another developement, the pioneering NFT fashion brand RTFKT Studios recently revealed the winners of its metaverse pod challenge. Thousands submitted their creative visions, and the final five showcased avant-garde landscapes that give a wild glimpse into future metaverse potential. Who knows—perhaps future catwalks will be inside virtual realms!
