Where art meets fashion in the Metaverse. Cash Labs is one of the presenting partners of Decentraland’s MVFW, where they will exhibit four digital fashion activations within their Cash Labs Gallery, featuring collaborations with Vogue Singapore, Artisant, SHOWstudio, and Danit Peleg x NounsDAO.

NEW YORK, March 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ – Cash Labs, dubbed “the leading force in bringing Web3 endeavors to market” by Vogue, will be one of the partners of the second annual Metaverse Fashion Week in Decentraland in partnership with Spatial.io and OVER metaverse, which launches today, March 28th, and runs through March 31st. Cash Labs’ founder David Cash was one of the creative forces behind the first-ever event last year and continues to aid in the production of the event through their role as a curator for the Decentraland Foundation. Along with Cash Labs, Cash founded the ‘Cash Labs Gallery’ at last year’s event; and will bring the gallery back for a return to this year’s programming in Decentraland’s new and renovated ‘NEO’ design district. Surrounded by industry leaders such as Adidas and Coach, Cash Labs is in good company.

The first floor of the gallery will feature ARTISANT’s latest collection, Iconic Cash. David Cash has teamed up with ARTISANT to create a unique collection of Decentraland wearables called Iconic Cash. The collection consists of six digital assets with AR filters and can be found in the Cash Labs Gallery on the first floor. The price range for these wearables is between 1 and 5 mana, making them accessible to a wide range of guests. Visitors to the Cash Labs gallery can also use a portal to access ARTISANT’s Spatial gallery, where they can find the most expensive asset on display at the event – the ‘Doge Crown’ by Dolce&Gabbana, a part of Red DAO’s iconic collection.

ARTISANT is a dynamic gamified digital fashion platform that is pushing the boundaries of the industry by welcoming thousands of new users, making daily free drops, advocating for creative freedom for designers, and practicing a creator economy. With this collaboration, David Cash and ARTISANT are demonstrating their commitment to innovation in the digital fashion space.

The second floor of the gallery will feature SHOWstudio’s ikon-1, the first major digital fashion NFT collection by renowned photographer Nick Knight starring Instagram sensation and model Jazzelle / @uglyworldwide. SHOWstudio‘s ikon-1 is a showcase for the work of 30 digital fashion designers from around the world. Explore the world of ikon-1 via imagery, videos, and sculpture in this immersive metaverse exhibit exclusively in the Cash Labs gallery.

“ikon-1 is an inspiring and compelling vision of Fashion’s future in Web3 that I hope will inspire the much-needed change and adoption of technology in the fashion industry,” said Nick Knight.

Additionally, Cash Labs Gallery will showcase a groundbreaking fashion exhibition on its third floor, featuring a collaboration between Danit Peleg and NounsDAO. The collection of five outfits is entirely 3D-printed and represents a significant leap forward in fashion design and production. The collection draws inspiration from the artwork of Nouns and is funded by NounsDAO, an NFT project with a creative community and vast treasury to fund projects that promote its CC0 art. Cash Labs is excited to display Peleg’s creative process in their exhibition format, and encourage gallery-goers to further explore Danit Peleg’s incredible practice.

Danit Peleg, a leading innovator in 3D-printed clothes and textiles, harnessed the power of cutting-edge 3D printing technology to create these innovative pieces of wearable art. She experimented with various 3D printing technologies and each technology allowed for unprecedented levels of creative expression. Danit Peleg believes that the advancements in 3D printing technology have the potential to transform fashion design and production.

“I think this is the start of a golden era for creators. Nouns DAO is an inspiring organization with beautiful CC0 art. Nouns are experimenting with how IP can be monetized in the blockchain era. With its massive treasury, Nouns are empowering artists, designers, and creators to pursue their passions and bring their creations to life.” – Danit Peleg
