Polygonal Mind x Zepeto: 100Avatars collection

‍

As interest grew, Zepeto caught our attention and we decided to check how difficult was for us, as owners and developers of a brand like 100Avatars, to check and develop a custom fashion collection. One thing led to the next one and we ended creating a collection of 100 custom beanies in 2 weeks!

‍

The art team dedicated their time to understand, adopt and execute the creation pipeline of Zepeto and we found out that is not only easy, it’s simple. That allowed us to port a vast artistic value originally made on interoperable avatars to digital fashion.
