Installation: Decentraland for Metaverse Fashion Week 2023

Dear Vivienne was a thank you letter to the late Dame Vivienne Westwood for fifty years of fashion inspiration. Designed by Bay Backner and Adrián Martínez as Vueltta, the work acted as a tribute, an immersive installation and a code-breaking game.

Dear Vivienne ran from 28.03.23 – 01.04.23 for Metaverse Fashion Week 2023 (#MVFW23). It was installed in Decentraland’s NEO Fashion Plaza alongside brands including Coach, Adidas and Tommy Hilfiger.

Dear Vivienne was recommended as a Metaverse Fashion Week highlight by several media platforms including Dazed, Vogue Spain, WWD and Vanity Fair.

Inside Dear Vivienne, visitors could find the clues they needed to decode Vueltta’s letter – which thanked Dame Vivienne for her work and activism. Through the game, visitors could discover more about Vivienne’s life, campaigns and iconic collections. 

The installation had three floors: the ground floor focused on Dame Vivienne’s story through the game; the second introduced some of the key visual elements to her work; and the third featured her environmental activism and a circular catwalk – on which Vueltta hosted an ‘Anti-Fashion Catwalk’ for the Decentraland community.

Through Dear Vivienne, Vueltta hoped to introduce Vivienne’s work to a new audience. They also aimed to highlight the connections between Vivienne’s legacy of ‘anti-fashion’ rebellion with the counter-cultural creativity of today’s digital worlds.
