Karl Lagerfeld Gracing the NFT Runway
The brand released the NFT Collection last September 10, in memory of the iconic German fashion designer’s birthday. Launching on The Dematerialised platform, the NFTs were limited editions and in two versions. The first price point was $91 for the 777 NFT holders. Meanwhile, 77 buyers were able to purchase the rarer and more luxurious version for $210.
Just like the meticulous designer, every little detail in the collection has meaning. For example, the team chose the number seven as a tribute to Lagerfeld, who considered it his lucky number.
