RSTLSS: A Platform for Multiverse Fashion
RSTLSS provides artists, brands, and influencers, the freedom and access to create and sell multiverse fashion, through an engaging, gamified experience. The platform also grows crypto-native brands and onboards traditional IPs into the metaverse via curated NFT drops.
The company’s mission is to help its users express their identities freely and fluidly. Through their platform they will allow users to create multiverse wearables, using limited edition licensed graphics, and contemporary designer streetwear. Aside from that, they can also sell their licensed artwork and wearables and evolve them into extra rare and valuable editions.
RSTLSS Founder and CEO, Charli Cohen said: “Identity is about expression and consistency. As we spend more time in virtual worlds, the ability to take what matters most to us across all the environments we exist in will be the expectation.”
“At RSTLSS, it’s our vision to remove the barriers for artists to create and monetize wearables and merchandise in the metaverse. At the same time, giving consumers ultimate control over their visual identities.”
Faye Maidment, Associate at BITKRAFT Ventures commented: “Ease of digital asset creation and customization in-game environments is still challenging. This is due to extreme high-touch onboarding of brands without an intermediary, high-skill level required for AAA digital content, and perceived lack of IP control.”
“RSTLSS makes it seamless for brands to access the metaverse in a scalable way while controlling their IP players to customize their wearables with limited edition graphics. At the same time allowing them to mint the design as an NFT, and creators to sell and showcase their designs virtually,” Maidment added.
