YEEZY are becoming more creative with their signature colour-ways as we take a look at the 700 V3 ‘Fade Salt’. This release will be a welcome expansion of Ye’s empire since the “Fade” and “Salt” aesthetics are neither new to this particular model.

This new colorway’s upper portion follows a grayscale pattern. The inner liners and tongues are finished in a muted grey colour, in contrast to the futuristic moulds that attach to the side panels, which are meant to have a milky translucent look.

The upper’s recognisable streaky lines from the silhouette are printed throughout and are given a gradient look by beginning solid black toward the toes and switching to crisp white from the mid-foot to the back. The bottoms have creamy exteriors, beige chevron tractions, and orange accents interspersed throughout the treading.

Although a release date has not yet been announced, it is probable that adidas and other retailers will offer these in the coming months for the customary $200 USD.

Fashion week is shifting into the virtual world as luxury brands and designers are preparing for the first ever Metaverse Fashion Week in Decentraland, which kicks off March 23 2022. As the event lasts four days, we share 4 things not to miss at the Metaverse Fashion Week (MVFW):

1. FASHION SHOWS

Of course, what is a Fashion Week without the fashion shows?

Over 50 brands will enter the virtual world, to debut collections in the Decentraland’s latest 3D Luxury Fashion District, previously modelled on Paris’ vaunted Avenue Montaigne. The event is actually inspired by the French architecture, underpinning the overall look and feel on the runway.

The brands to showcase their designs include the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Hugo, and Roberto Cavalli. Tommy Hilfiger will not only reveal its SS22 collection, but also NFTs within its Decentraland store. Etro, on the other hand, will set a gender-fluid scene by offering its new Liquid Paisley print.

It only makes sense for digital-first brands, The Fabricant and CSM’s Scarlett Yang to make their presence known whilst also paving a way for emerging designers, like LVMH-winner Kidsuper, on their crypto-clothing debut.

2. SHOPPING

To treat yourself and get your hands on any wearable items, an Ethereum wallet will be needed to purchase as Decentraland, the browser-based platform has software running on the Ethereum blockchain.

To begin the 2022 Metaverse Fashion Week, Selfridges will complete the activation whilst we observe the launch of its first Web3 store. There will also be an “immersive” experience with Paco Rabanne. To enhance the beauty of fashion, “sensorial” experiences from Etro, Tommy Hilfiger, Dolce & Gabbana, and Guo Pei will feature too.

NFT marketplace Rarible will be sponsoring Decentraland’s Designers Street, hosting spaces for emerging streetwear designers and driving exclusive apparel drops too.

3. ENTERTAINMENT – FILMS, CONCERTS & EXHIBITIONS

As part of an AUROBOROS experience, attendees can enjoy a headline performance by Grimes. There is also the opportunity to listen into panel discussions with high value industry-leaders like Alexandre de Betak.

The CashLabs Space will show fashion-based films including Chanel and Lanvin. NFT photographs from STREET (the legendary street style photography magazine) comes courtesy of MetaTokyo in museums.

4. ATTEND PARTIES

Similar to a typical fashion week, after-show parties at MVFW will be hosted by Dolce & Gabbana, Faith Connexion, Blond:ish, and Imitation of Christ. We also know KnownOrigin will showcase its collection sometime during an afterparty. There could be a few more surprises on the horizon…you have to be there not to miss out on the fun.

Amongst all the fashion shows, presentations, live concerts, store launches, afterparties, film screenings and much more, fashion lovers and attendees at this year’s MVFW are sure to enjoy themselves. Why not join in on the fun before it ends March 27?

Artists who have Spotify pages may soon be able to display and share NFTs through the online streaming service through a new feature being tested within the app. This will potentially open up opportunities to “help a small group of artists promote their existing third-party NFT offerings via their artist profiles.”

Steve Aoki and The Wombats are just some of artists, currently boasting NFTs on artist pages whilst the feature is only reserved to a small number users based in the US. Those included in this test can view NFTs as they scroll through songs.

The NFTs are directly related to the popular OpenSea NFT marketplace, where users can purchase. With the new feature, Spotify follows in the footsteps of social media platforms Instagram and Twitter who are also experimenting with the potential of NFTs for users to share.

Spotify does not seem to be taking a cut of artists’ NFT sales but we can only wait and see how this exciting feature progresses as tests continue: A Spotify spokesperson told Music Ally that these tests “end up paving the way for a broader experience and others serve only as an important learning”.
