Fashion School Graduate Makes Wearables

Description
I am a newer user to Decentraland and while I have greatly enjoyed it so far, I quickly noticed that the current clothing available lacks inclusivity and uniqueness. I have created a gender neutral clothing line that everyone will be able to wear and enjoy. This clothing line will bring a new standard for inclusivity to Decentraland. This clothing line is based off of everyday street wear that still has uniqueness and creativity. The pieces are trendy, fashionable and the people wearing them will be proud to walk around and show them off. I am passionate about fashion and I am exciting to see how fashion is going to evolve in Decentraland. It is something that I greatly wish to be a part of and want to continue to release new pieces on a regular basis. As a recent fashion grad, I want to use the skills that I have learned in a project that I really care about, like Decentraland. I believe that our future lies in the virtual world and Decentraland is at the forefront of this with their current product. With my background in fashion and schooling during this time of technological advancement, this something that I really wish to become a part of. The only component that I am lacking in my vision is the funding to make this possible.
Voting Power
this snapshot didnt help i dont know which account is yours.. and it should show what account you are being delegated from like all other accounts that vote.. You and Ines are the only ones who i have seen where there VP is not showing where its coming from and it should have BEEN reflected..
@ALPHAALVES I have delegated VP from another account which has my LANDs. check it out here: https://snapshot.org/#/delegate/snapshot.dcl.eth
I commend you on learning, and on wanting to grow the space. I disagree that the wearables lack inclusivity, and a fashion degree doesn't a '3d modeler' make. These although similar markets are not at all the same. I believe your assessment of the current wearable market tells me you need some more time researching the market and the community before I can vote yes on something like this. I would have liked to seen some drawings at least... I can understand why sharing ideas is complicated, but a bucket hat is in no way revolutionary and true-to-in-real life wearables don't sell the way I believe you're anticipating with this size grant. Grants should vastly improve the ecosystem, bring innovation... this idea does neither.
Wants to release 3-4 wearables, changed some image textures, asks for a $3000 grant.. :man_shrugging: Wearable creators getting screwed over again :+1:
If Decentraland gives out $3000 to this person, Decentraland will have to start dishing out $3000 to every content creator. There could be many people who have graduated from fashion school making wearables. There is nothing special about this request. If this person's sense of fashion is good, and the products are designed well for the market, then he/she will have no problem starting small (without a grant) and building up a profitable business. A grant is entirely not necessary. The wearables might even totally suck, which would be a waste of $3000. Markets are efficient for a reason...there's no need to circumvent that market in this situation.
ironically, is her own works are lack inclusivity and uniqueness. :sweat_smile:
"I am a newer user to Decentraland and while I have greatly enjoyed it so far, I quickly noticed that the current clothing available lacks inclusivity and uniqueness. " GTFOH we have everything from guns,bdsm to pot wearables. Dress's to moon suits and rabbit outfits. Im vote no on this for making such a dumb statement. Lucky the two top accounts always some how magically have a lot of vp. You just spit in the face of those who have made wearables and made our own way. Also to the people who probably would of welcomed you with open arms.
we need someone with a high VP to vote no.
Thank you! Im glad someone else sees this as well !!!
they are just trying to abuse VP system
I totally agree with you. If this gets approved, we all should get $3k grand.
It is very hilarious to me that no one wants to speak on this and only us realize :rofl:
the VP is completely wrong and the person who controls half the vote shows to have 0 mana and only owns their name so they should have the same VP as me, in fact, i should have more.
you basicly voted yes for them to get the wearables put up free when you just had to pay out of your own pocket to get some up. most of us are graduates of somekind, im a graduate of a dimploa of digital and interactive games. just dont think its fair a new comer get thier stuff up free when we spend months grinding and paying out of out pocket? Feel me?
on a third note, these votes. some of the Voting Power doesn't add up and something seems OFF HERE. starting to question DCL right now. Maybe I'll take my skills elsewhere.... got a few other creators feeling the same right now.
on another note... if we allow this kind of stuff and give people free reign like this, doesn't that take away from the VALUE of the other wearables in the market? just saturating the market like that with tons and tons of basic items is insulting. it will really take away from the creativity and passion that so many people have strived to provide in the marketplace. i def think it would hurt the market entirely. if you were asking for funding for land to provide a valuable service, that would make sense. but asking for funds to do what everyone else already is... naw. this really should not be approved
To be perfectly honest... I don't agree with this at all and I can say that I don't think any of the other content creators like this either. Every single creator in this space has taken the time to learn blender and all these programs as well, and just because you went to school for fashion doesn't mean you deserve to be put ahead of the people who are investing their own hard earned money. I'm a single mom and just took half a paycheck to drop my first two wearables... that I spent time busting my butt to learn how to do as well. There is not a lack of fashion in the wearable market and the people who have been here for MANY months or YEARS would agree. The marketplace is ever changing. If you are randomly given 3 grand to make wearables with, you're looking at a pretty fat paycheck and shouldn't be making money like that when hundreds of creators before you deserve that. If you had been in this place for a year plus I might feel differently but this feels like an insult to everyone if it gets approved. The market place is constantly changing, because of the investors and people who have built it to what it is. You're new, you wouldn't know how it works here. Thanks though but I'm absolutely voting NO. There is a thousand other projects that would actually benefit the community and deserve to be funded. If you gets approved, then every creator here deserves a $3,000 grant.
i dont see why the dao should approve this? i mean its just sets of clothes that arent linked to a spacific gender, i just dont see why everyone else should be rejected and have to pay to put up thier items, when this is looking to go through so they get to put thier wearables up for free. As somsone who spends 8-15 hours a day in DCL, grinding, making connections, earning the income. I think its not great to approve this. Otherwise were all going to start creating proposals for the dao to pay for our collections to go up. I support the cause but its not for the dao and if it gets approved i see big waves being made in the community and faith in the dao starting to be lost.
I understand that it can be difficult percuring the funds to produce and market your content, so this approach is warranted in that respect. My two main concerns are: 1: you lack the experience in creating wearables as you are new to this space and 2: DCL fashion sense is different from the general sense of fashion we'll find in the real world and I fear you haven't discovered that just yet. My suggestion is that you spend time creating more wearables; learn the process in its entirety (concept, production, approval, marketing etc.). The more you learn and engage with other creators and your audience, you'll start to understand your market and what users are genuinely seeking. That way, when it comes time that you need support you'll have built a community around your designs. All in all there's just a little more leg work to do before a proposal of this nature can be approved.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY @maraoz & @ines dont have their VP reflected in their portfolio? Ines deserves 1400 VP and Maraoz deserves 20100 VP.. What is going on here that i do not see?
Do not get disappointed if the result is not in your favor maybe its time to gain more experience and bulid a solid portfolio :+1:
Not sure how I feel about this, I don't think I can give it a yes vote, sorry! I do not have much money myself and am working hard to afford my own wearables, it feels personally unfair to me that someone can just get handed this considerable amount of funding to them. I have also seen this proposal somewhat spammed around, I even got a random DM from someone I don't know with a link to this same proposal, so that's kinda turned me off it even more. I think it was worth a try, but I am going to vote no for it though. If you are accepted then well done to you. If not then I'd probably look for grants/funding outside of DCL to get into this. :)
I do not think that the DCL Marketplace lacks inclusivity and uniqueness at all, I think we have a robust Creator Marketplace getting better every day! The provided examples do not seem to differ in any significant way from what is currently available in the marketplace, perhaps there are other example you could provide. I commend you on teaching yourself Blender - there are many of us in the community who have done the same and it is not easy! But as a new Creator and Community Member, I would rather see a smaller grant be awarded (such as the FACE Fashion grant mentioned above) where you can release ONE set of wearables and test the market. I am voting no on this, but do wish you luck no matter what happens.
how are people voting yes to this? no Road map no solid plan? plus face fashion house already has a wearable creator sponsorship program. where is the $3000 going? If the designs are already made this is just covering the publication and marketing for the brand? Does not seem like a good allocation of funds to me.....
Sounds great, voting yes!
