Founded in 2020, Tribute Brand is the world’s first direct-to-consumer digital fashion label. Tribute Brand creates both virtual and physical garments — including AR outfits, digital avatars, NFC-enabled clothing, and downloadable 3D assets for creators.

Tribute Brand designs have been worn by Charli XCX, Kim Petras, and others, and they have collaborated with fashion houses such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Sacai, and Carolina Herrera.

Vision & Approach

Inspired by video games like The Sims and GTA, Tribute Brand embraces inclusivity and sustainability. Their digital fashion is genderless, size-free, and waste-free. Physical collections are designed with a focus on minimal or zero waste.

Recognition

Tribute Brand has been featured on the Dazed 100 and Vogue Business Top 100 Innovators lists, recognized for reimagining fashion across digital and physical worlds.

Tribute Street

From Tribute Text, a free reading archive edited by Tribute Brand

Tribute Street (/ˈtrɪb.juːt striːt/) is a virtual Tribute Brand storefront inside MONA, a multiplayer platform for virtual socialization. Tribute Street functions as a blank slate, awaiting the unveiling of new virtual stores as Tribute Brand releases new drops (brands).

Tribute Street is a reconstruction of the famous shopping street in Paris, the Rue Saint-Honoré. Imagining society in a state of anarchy, Tribute Brand virtually vandalizes physical shops that exist in the real-world Rue Saint-Honoré and adapts them for its own brands, the first one being the virtual store for the PUNK brand.

In order to emphasize the advantages of the virtual realm over the physical, Tribute Street is a 3D experience of Google Street footage rendered in a low-poly style.

The holders can access Tribute Street and other virtual spaces inside MONA as unique-to-holder VRM avatars directly from the Tribute Web.
