Fierce Studios Founder Michelle McCormack Plants a Flag in Decentraland Selling Fashion Wearables in a Virtual Photo Studios & Event Space

What will your avatar wear to celebrate NFT NYC?  Female Disruptors caught up with Michelle McCormack on how she pivoted from fashion photographer to pioneering the Web3 world from NFTs to Wearables to 3D Virtual Worlds.

Fierce Studios, the Web3 company with a 10K PFP (picture for proof) collection based on real fashion models hosted a grand opening bash in the Indie Village neighborhood of Decentraland to mark the first step in their grand metaverse ambitions.

Ready, Set, Strike a Virtual Pose

Hosted during lunch time (there is  less guilt in the metaverse) the crowd explored Fierce’s four story photo studio which includes two fully equipped photo studios, an art gallery, screening room, large dance floor, graffiti room, and a stunning rooftop. Getting around is fun too. The elevator - taken out of the Star Trek playbook - beams you floor to floor in a flash. Getting down is a cinch too. Don’t feel like waiting for the elevator or taking the stairs? Thanks to the impossibility of getting physically hurt, you can just jump off the roof. The party was attended by hundreds in the NFT / fashion community who dressed their avatars up in custom wearables made by Fierce studios and their co-host Eyes of Fashion.

“Today confirms what I already know in my gut:  people are craving to express their individuality in the digital realm and they are willing to spend for the ability to do so. We are watching fashion come to life in an entirely new way with brands surfacing virtually first, and then in the real world, said Fierce Studios Founder & Creative Director Michelle McCormack.

What Does Mental Health Look Like in Web3?

Michelle protects her mental health in the volatile NFT space by turning off price alerts, setting clear boundaries on how much money she will spend on crypto/NFTs - and sticking to it, and turning off digital all together for large chunks of time every few days.
