In the continued quest for an equitable and sustainable future in fashion, Burnett New York unveils their experiential Resort 2023 Collection in collaboration with Citizen-T. Uniting to co-create a circular capsule collection of non-manufactured garments made by deconstructing existing fast-fashion pieces and re-crafting them into high-fashion collectibles.
Burnett is a technology-first ready-to-wear women’s brand known for its signature feminine sensibility and evangelizing ambitious women, the company said. Citizen-T shared that is a slow fashion art fusion fashion brand championed by artists and donned by ethical citizens hell-bent on changing the world.
Artist Stephanie Dillion has hand-painted artwork within the collection in collaboration with Burnett New York to create physical ready-to-wear and metaverse wearable NFTs through their strategic partnership with Mod Wearbales, a wearable studio platform powering avatar apparel and accessories across the metaverse. This 17-piece ready-to-wear and metaverse wearable NFT collection with 77 editions of each look. Each NFT contains a 3D metaverse wearable and gated e-commerce access to shop and place pre-orders. NFTs are priced for new adopters, starting at an equivalent of $17 USD.
The collection was revealed on June 15 as a multidimensional exhibition event at Musica’s Whisper Room with beats from DJ Boby Ishak; exclusively for Luxlock Viper NFT holders. Luxlock is a retail experience platform humanizing luxury commerce experiences across sales channels by turning consumer touch-points into hyper-personalized points of sale, the company said. Burnett presented Augmented Reality (AR) enhanced designs for a live interactive experience, while a diverse range of avatar models strutted the catwalk in Decentral Games with rapper Lil’Bitcoin. Holders received gated e-commerce access to shop limited edition styles and unlock exclusive events in real life and the metaverse.
“When we think about the impact that fashion can make on the world, we recognize its powerful role in breaking barriers, creating unity, and being a positive platform for change,” said Emily Burnett, CEO and creative director of Burnett New York.
Throughout history, art movements have influenced fashion. Artists and designers embrace non-fungible tokens as a modern medium to future-proofing fashion. Luxlock, a luxury CDXM platform, introduces transformative utility applications to operationalize Web3 commerce and drive adoption of non-crypto-native consumers.
