NFTs in the fashion realm

Friday, September 16 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

“NFTs in the fashion realm – the world beyond digital art ” tech-talk and wine with Carolina Rios at Le Moulin Seorae

Since the sale of the first NFT for only $4 in 2014 during a live presentation at the New Museum in New York City, the so-called Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) market reached $16 billion in valuations, while statistics expect the industry to amount to $122 billion by 2028.

NFTs are digital tokens that prove the ownership of an asset, which is also in the digital space. Nowadays in the fashion industry NFTs embody the hottest commodities, reconstructing the paradigm between tech innovation, sustainability, and style, blurring the boundaries between real and virtual interactions with textures, garments, and accessories.

Mainstream interest in NFTs elevated the market growth of the fashion industry by 21,000% in 2021. From Louis Vuitton to Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Burberry to Coach, Mango, Nike, and Adidas, fashion brands do not cease to invest and explore ventures in this virtual space to introduce NFTs across their product ranges, marketing campaigns, and customer experience.

Clearly NFTs have exploded in popularity, but what’s all the hype about NFTs? What financial and social value makes NFTs so attractive to be nominated as the “Big Thing” of the decade?

 

Our guest speaker Carolina Rios will navigate you into the world of this provocative tech field and business field. She will explain  the application of NFTs to the fashion industry and some of the economic, social, and environmental incentives behind NFTs in fashion, one of the coolest emerging trends in the blockchain ecosystem.

 

Carolina, a former SIWA leader, is currently the director of partnerships at Klaytn, the blockchain initiative of Kakao Corporation, where she supports the global expansion efforts to the markets in Europe, USA and Latin American markets.

 

Join us for this informative  tech-talk while enjoying a casual dinner with a few glasses of wine at the Le Moulin Seorae.  The ticket price includes set menu dinner with 3 glasses of french wine. In case if you wish to order on top of that, you can do it at your own expense.
