WS.NL launches world’s first wearable NFT

The first wearable NFT artwork, dubbed the NFT(EE), was created by We Are Pi in collaboration with multidisciplinary artist @GabBois. Blurring the lines between luxury fashion and technology, this T-shirt is connected to an AR filter that brings the NFT artwork to life.

Amsterdam December 15 2021. 

Luxury online fashion retailer Winkelstraat.nl launches the world’s first wearable NFT. Created by WE ARE Pi in collaboration with multidisciplinary artist @GabBois, the campaign will launch by auctioning a unique artwork created by Gab Bois on the world’s largest NFT platform, OpenSea. 

Simultaneously, Winkelstraat.nl will release a one -time drop of 500 Limited Edition NFTees. Those lucky enough to secure an NFTee will be able to access an exclusive AR Filter of the artwork, created by Dutch AR Artist Isabelle Udo (from mixed reality studio VideOrbit), by scanning the NFT(EE) itself. We Are Pi worked with photographer Qiu Yang (Studio Qiu Yang) on the campaign.

Barney Hobson, Executive Creative Director of We Are Pi says, “In a rapidly changing digital landscape the definition of luxury is constantly evolving. By bringing the latest technology to a luxury fashion collaboration, Winkelstraat.nl is re-defining the meaning of ownership in the fashion world. The NFT(EE)is not only a playful and desirable fashion item, but a statement of support for digital artists and designers.”

Joost van der Veer, CEO and co-founder of Winkelstraat.nl adds, "We are extremely proud of the launch of this special collaboration with super talent Gab Bois and our first NFT. For us, luxury fashion is about unique items; clothing that helps you own it. We are therefore determined to offer our users many more one-of-a-kind fashion items in the coming years.”

NFT (non-fungible token) digital artworks are traded on the Ethereum blockchain, with collectors investing millions of dollars for exclusive ownership. By combining crypto-technology with a wearable fashion item, the NFTee marks the first time an NFT artwork has been designed for digital and physical fashion retail.

The campaign and NFTee auction is live from December 15th 2021. Visit Winkelstraat.nl or Instagram @winkelstraatnl for more details on how to participate.
