At yesterday’s Vivienne Tam New York Fashion Week show, her first in-person show since 2019, the designer showed off a collection full of flowing hems and patchwork knits — and blue chip NFT avatars.
Characters from the Bored Ape Yacht Club, CryptoPunks, CyberKongz, and Awkward Astronauts appeared sewn, printed, and even embroidered on apparel and accessories. “I wanted the creators of these NFTs, and even those unfamiliar with NFTs, to be excited and to think, ‘Wow, they’re alive!’” Tam said in a press release. Her show, according to its notes, was meant to “rewire the current fashion landscape.”
