the digital dress

Take a minute.

Then come back and tell me if you agree that the world has lost it’s forking collective mind.

Basically the story says -

Earlier this year Richard Ma, the chief executive of San Francisco-based security company Quantstamp, spent $9,500 (£7,500) on a dress for his wife.

That is a lot of money for a dress, particularly when it does not exist, at least not in a physical form.

Instead it was a digital dress, designed by fashion house The Fabricant, rendered on to an image of Richard's wife, Mary Ren, which can then be used on social media.

Yes, you read that right.

People are buying digital clothes to wear virtually and then post them on social media.

I actually feel a bit unwell at how disconnected from reality this is.

Go and see your friend in real life. Drink tea. Eat cake. Look at their new boots.

Real actual boots with your real eyes. Feel real emotion for a real object.

I honestly don’t have the words…

Queen Marie
