                Metaverse Fashion Opera

                WTF is MVFO

                The concept of Metaverse Fashion Opera (MVFO) comes from a brainstorm in a call between Gemma, Alastair, and Roy. And soon, the story behind the first metaverse fashion opera, #CAPITAL, is created and composed by Alastair.The immersive, reality-bending imagination of China’s first metaverse platform Dragon City will combine with Fashion Opera to create a new work — and a new stage in developing this nascent genre. A collective of artists and designers will collaborate on a piece that excavates the history of the Metaverse, telling its story from the very beginning of human experience to its realization in MVFW 23. This is a tale of dematerialization and symbolism: from the first time someone exchanged a token for an object, or a symbol — a word — for a being in the world — all the way through gold bars and bank notes, or the virtual reality of novels and epic poetry — to bitcoin, avatars and Dragon City itself.Featuring the designs of Chenpeng, a brand that sees no boundary between beauty and ugliness, the possible and the impossible, and the work of which has been characterized by Anders Sølvsten Thomsen (ANTIDOTE magazine) as both “anti-tradition and deviant,” as well as virtuosic dancers, performers, and sopranos. This is the story of becoming something else — where everything is always possible. The concept of Metaverse Fashion Opera comes from a brainstorm in a call between Gemma, Alastair, and Roy. And soon, the story behind the first metaverse fashion opera, #CAPITAL, is created and composed by Alastair.

                What Media Say About MVFO

                -- International Arts Manager

                -- Cent Magazine


                “#CAPITAL tracks the progress of human exchange from the first time a symbol was used to represent an object, through to gold bars, bank notes and NFTs.”

                House of Synergos

                DRAGON CITY X UU STUDIOS X SYBARITE X CHENPENG

                “Designing an opera house in the metaverse immediately appealed to my sense of all things Avant-Garde. The hyperbolic paraboloid is a structure symbolising modernisation and progress and so it appears here in Dragon City as a defining feature of the ‘House of Synergos’ existing at the intersection of what is inspired by the past and yet transcends us infinitely beyond that, the dream of all architects”.“The House of Synergos by Sybarite is where architecture, music and fashion come together in perfect synergy to interact and explore the possibilities of living in another reality”.“At Synergos, the house sets the scene for a Fashion Opera. Three boundaryless minds coming together: Sybarite, UU Studios and Chenpeng at Dragon City, each with a special interest in all that connects us with China”.
                Simon Mitchell, Co-Founder, Sybarite
                “在元宇宙中设计一座歌剧院立即吸引了我对先锋艺术的感觉。双曲抛物面是一种象征现代化和进步的结构,因此它出现在龙城的 'Synergos 之家' 中,成为该建筑的一个定义特征,它存在于启发自过去、却超越我们无限远的交汇处,是所有建筑师梦寐以求的。"
                “Synergos 之家由 Sybarite 设计,这是建筑、音乐和时尚完美融合,互动和探索在另一个现实中生活的可能性的地方。"
                “在 Synergos,这座房子为时装歌剧奠定了基调。三个没有界限的思想汇聚在一起:Sybarite、UU Studios 和陈鹏在龙城,每个人都对连接我们与中国的一切都有着特别的兴趣。”
                西蒙·米切尔(Simon Mitchell),Sybarite 联合创始人。

                Hanfu is the traditional clothing worn by the Han ethnic group in China, which has a history of more than 3,000 years.
                Hanfu has a unique style that reflects the culture and values of ancient China, the dominant style of clothing in China until the end of the Ming dynasty in the 17th century.
                In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in Hanfu, particularly among young people in China, who wear it as a way to connect with their cultural heritage.
