■ Comment by RIO, Founder of XANA

In the future, human beings will enjoy fashion every day, just as we enjoy fashion in the real world. In the metaverse, we will enjoy new self-expression by changing daily into NFT digital fashion, avatars, wearables for avatars, and so on. It is a great pleasure for me to be able to work with Mr. Koshino, a world-renowned Japanese designer, on this cutting-edge project, and to share it with you, the residents of Metaverse. As this is the first time for both of us to work together, it took several months of trial and error to complete the project. We have worked on the avatar fashions down to the smallest detail. Unlike the conventional Metaverse, one of the most appealing features of XANA is that it can reproduce fashion in a cute size. We will continue to bring the joy of digital fashion to all fashion lovers.
