Paco Rabanne, the Parisian fashion house, has announced 'Unwearable Dresses,' a collection of 12 NFTs. This collection marks the first-ever NFT launch for the fashion house. As such, it is using this collection to commemorate 12 of its iconic runway looks over the course of its decades-long history. However, as the name states, the NFTs will be a nod to the fashion house's bolder runway looks that were not designed for everyday wear.
Many of the Unwearable Dresses NFTs feature unique designs such as spikes, chrome plates, geometric cubes, metal wire, or near-invisible material. The 12 NFTs are releasing via 'Selfridges,' a retail store that also sells NFTs. There will be 56 units of the NFTs in the Unwearable Dresses collection, each of which will be available to purchase either through Selfridges or through 'universenft.live,' an online Web3 platform. The prices for the Unwearable Dresses collection begin at approximately $780 USD.
