In fashion, as virtual fashion garners attention, initiatives using NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) to prevent the forgery and copying of digital data are rapidly increasing. Among these trends, Synflux, a speculative fashion laboratory that has been pioneering the application of technology to fashion, including fashion design utilizing machine learning, also released an NFT work in October 2021.
The project "Atlas of Memory," a collaboration with the street fashion brand Robyn Lynch, which participates in London Fashion Week, how was it pushed forward? Also, what were Synflux's intentions behind selling their work as NFT, given their track record of advanced initiatives leveraging technology? This time, we interviewed Kazuya Kawasaki, the head of Synflux, about the project's overview, development process, and the underlying philosophy.
