This is a recast of an interview I guest hosted on Real Vision on February 8, 2022 featuring Shashi Menon and Nick Gonzalez, Co-Founders of UNXD, a curated marketplace for digital luxury and culture. They are the team behind Dolce and Gabbana’s debut NFT drop and the latest NFT collection with luxury watchmaker Jacob & Co. called Astronomia Metaverso.

That Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana personally designed a set that ended up selling for $6 million strongly suggests NFTs are more than just a novelty. We’re talking real money – and real assets. Dolce & Gabbana launched its first NFTs with the help of UNXD co-founders Shashi Menon and Nick Gonzalez. Menon and Gonzalez share with Leslie Lamb, founder and host of the Crypto Unstacked podcast, the story of how they were able to inspire this multi-billion-dollar fashion conglomerate to create its own nine-piece virtual/physical collection. Menon and Gonzalez see this as a watershed moment for NFT experimentation by large corporations; UNXD is now working with watchmaker Jacob & Co. for yet another large-scale release. Menon, Gonzalez, and Lamb discuss the future of NFTs and why they’re here to stay. Recorded on February 8, 2022.
