August is a time for recharging, recuperating, and savouring the remaining vestiges of summer while we can. The confidence of Leo season gets us pumped for nights out on the town—as well as a slew of fashion debuts to get you through the dreary, every-day-feels-like-Sunday month. We’re starting out hot and futuristic with Tiffany’s first-ever NFT launch, but keep an eye on this area throughout the month as we cover the news you need to know.
- Tiffany & Co. Goes Virtual With ‘NFTiff’
COURTESY OF TIFFANY & CO.
Who: Tiffany & Co.
What: First NFT, NFTiff
Where: Available online at nft.tiffany.com on Aug. 5
Why: When you’re the world’s biggest jeweler, you can’t ignore the hype of online marketplaces like the NFT blockchain. So, after Tiffany’s Alexandre Arnault shared a picture of his custom Tiffany CryptoPunk necklace, inspired by his own NFT, the jewelry juggernaut teamed up with blockchain technology company Chain to create a NFT of the design. Each NFTiff, as they are cheekily called, will draw from the over 10,000 CryptoPunk NFTs to create a pendant with gemstones and diamonds that is every bit unique. A select run of 250 pendants will be physically produced, if you’re an IRL kind of shopper.
