Crypto News – Luxury apparel start-up SYKY will debut its online platform on Friday, the business informed SCENE, as London Fashion Week gets underway.
Well-known Fashion Figure Alice Delahunt Announces the Launch of Digital Fashion Platform SYKY
Users will be able to purchase digital and tangible fashion products from rising designers and well-known luxury brands on SYKY. The inaugural SYKY collection—a very small run of 40 digital fashion pieces plus a one-of-a-kind physical handbag with a digital twin created by Chinese digital artist Fanrui Sun—will drop on Friday. These goods will primarily be offered in curated drops.
Building a blockchain-native home for top designers in both physical and digital fashion is simply the most recent step in a career that has long embraced cutting-edge technology, according to Delahunt, who serves as SYKY’s CEO. The next logical step in that trajectory seems to be an immersive, on-chain fashion ecosystem, and Delahunt thinks that this is the ideal time to introduce that still-emerging technology to the general public.
It’s like catching a wave: not too early, not too late. You have to get it at the right time.

How is SYKY Different from Others?
On a secondary market housed on the website, SYKY users will be able to exchange all kinds of on-chain digital fashion collectibles. By tying digital wallets to a built-in social networking feature, they will also be encouraged to flaunt their virtual wardrobes of clothing. Although many of these features target tech-savvy blockchain aficionados, Delahunt thinks SYKY’s unique value proposition rests in its connectivity to the larger luxury fashion industry as well as to the closely-knit digital fashion ecosystem.
We are extending beyond just digital fashion enthusiasts. We’re also speaking to fashion industry collectors and VIPs, who have a long history of collecting pieces. Introducing them to the digital piece of it, which fascinates them and which they want to create a conversation around—that gets really exciting to me.
