INTRODUCTION

Even though it's crypto winter now, it definitely feels like a summer break vibes in the Metaverse. It means we still do get to party and enjoy all the perks of fantasy and creativity. You just have to know good places to go, like IRL, right? 🦩

In this newsletter, I will explore new places to visit, some fashion trends, and, of course, the bigger picture of what is happing in web3. 🤖

EVENT OF THE WEEK

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

Hearing from Decentraland wearables curator: Yannakis

Tell us more about what Decentraland looked like when you joined the space and how wearables evolved during that time?

When I joined DCL, wearables were way simpler with many emissions, not resembling IRL fashion. However, during my time here, the quality of wearables has improved a lot. Nowadays, most wearables look much more realistic and resemble either IRL fashion or fantasy style, whereas before, they were mainly advertisements or wearables for "fun."

In your eyes, what is the future of wearables?

I think that in the future, most wearables will resemble real-life fashion and will be used to express a person in the metaverse. It's an amazing opportunity for brands to get more exposure, for regular users to dress in a way they might not be comfortable dressing IRL, and mainly have fun!
