I’ve been watching the conversation around digital fashion, and honestly, after seeing so many people feel overstimulated, after the metaverse moment crashed, the NFT outfits became a joke, and brands ran experiments they never followed through on, it's easy to conclude the obvious: Digital fashion is dead At least, that’s the story everyone tells But the truth, the real truth, is far more interesting, and far stranger, than that simple statement suggests. And it’s exactly what I explore in my latest essay: ā€œDigital Fashion Is Deadā€ (And it’s not the death you think) Thank you!🌹 Eduard🌹 The Hidden I🌹 (Pronounced ā€œEyeā€ or ā€œI.ā€ For the Seer. And the Seen.)

I believe that if people treated music the same way they treat visual art, music NFTs would’ve been embraced way more. When someone collects a piece of visual art, they don’t expect anything extra from the artist. There’s no ā€œutilityā€ conversation there. They just collect it because they love the work or because it means something to them But with music NFTs, the first question people ask is, ā€œWhy should I collect this? What do I get if I own the original?ā€ And I don’t agree with that at all. I see music and visual art as the same kind of art, both are expressions, both are emotional, both can live as collectibles Still, I think this expectation, this psychology behind ā€œmusic should come with benefitsā€, is what holds people back. It shapes how they see music NFTs, even if they don’t say it out loud. And I think this mindset is one of the reasons music NFTs haven’t been embraced as strongly as visual art NFTs🌹

I’ve always been considered the black sheep of my family. Maybe only not by my father but by most of my family, yes. I finished high school with low grades because I didn’t care. I dropped out of college. I never had a ā€œrealā€ job. I don’t care what people say or think about me. I work all the time on things they don’t understand. I’m 26, not married, not raising kids which, at this age, is what people expect where I’m from. And the list could go on Because of all that, I got labeled. And I still get labeled, pretty often. Sometimes it’s tough, I won’t lie. But even then, I still don’t care enough to change. I’m still doing me. If nothing works out, that’s on me. I’ll live with the consequences But I refuse to live differently just because someone decided I’m the black sheep. Maybe they don’t understand my path, and that’s fine. They didn’t choose it. I did. And I’d rather write my own story than let them write it for me Below is the black sheep enjoying its life while they judge it:🌹

For the past few years, I’ve been designing Mismir, a creative studio shaping tools, platforms, and products that help people express themselves, connect meaningfully, and create with intention. This year was meant to be the release of our first product: a garment (a T-shirt). Chipped, symbolic, a new way to meet fashion. I had plans, a long vision, people waiting Then my manufacturer scammed me. I lost $5k+ and months of work. It hurt deeply. The money, the emotions, the time, I felt like I let people down, including myself. After the dust settled, I did the only thing that felt right: pivot, keeping my head up and moving gently but forward. The purpose of making the world a better place stayed my guiding light I’ve always wanted to design something in fashion. I thought I’d begin with cloth; the universe asked me to begin with You. Y (pronounced ā€œyouā€) is what I’m moving toward Y is a digital sanctuary where fashion becomes memory, identity, and presence, a blend of social, cultural content, and community commerce built for reflection, not performance. The philosophy is simple: your wardrobe is your world. Fashion isn’t just what you wear; it’s how you feel, remember, and transform. We need to bring that back to life The vision is to design a global home where people document looks, archive moods, uplift each other, and co-create a new ā€œbasedā€ culture (IYKYK) built on meaning, not manipulation. A platform designed for humans, where presence is real and intentional. And one more element that shows the breadth of this vision: Everything is Fashion I’ve bootstrapped what I could. I chose patience over speed. I kept the rose close and tried to build with care because I want Y to feel like breath, not pressure. Now, I’m ready to begin again What I need: - MacBook Pro 16″ (M4 Pro) → $3,800 (It’s pricier here than in the US due to VAT and import duties in Romania.) There are two reasons I need a new laptop. First, for the past year and a half, I’ve been using a $500 Lenovo (what I could afford after my previous laptop broke) for 12 hours a day, and each day it gets slower, unable to fully support the programs I use (coding, editing). Second, it runs Windows, and to ship this app to iOS, I need macOS/Xcode to compile, test, and sign it. - Apple Developer Program (1 year) → $100 This unlocks TestFlight, certificates, and App Store distribution, which represent the gate to publishing. - Setup essentials + small buffer → $100 I’ll use this for minor software tools, a USB-C hub/adapter, and a little price wiggle so work isn’t stalled. What I’m offering: $75 → Founder (Year One) Full access to Y for 1 year • Cultural Status (rose crest) • Founder badge • Founding Bloom NFT airdrop (Base) • Co-creation access (Founder Circle feedback, private threads, early invites) • Founder spotlight surfaces (human-curated highlights and a visible founder ring; no algorithmic manipulation) $150 → Founder (Two Years) Everything in $75 for 2 years • Distinct badge + Founding Bloom variant to mark two-year support. $300 → Founder (Five Years) Everything in $150, for 5 years • Early access to new features via feature flags and private betas • Distinct five-year badge + Bloom. $750 → Founding Patron (Lifetime) Everything in $300, for as long as Y operates • Founding Patron badge • Name etched on the in-app Founders Wall at launch. Highest donor → ā€œVespertilioā€ (1/1) → https://foundation.app/mint/base/0x044c8225a309df5Ae87f861e2d7881803aA54236/6 At campaign end (if the goal is achieved), the top individual contributor receives my artwork Vespertilio, which is currently minted on Base and available to see on Foundation (listing price was 0.25 ETH, approximately $1,000 on 19.08.25), exhibited at the Oculus (NYC) and Awaita Studios (NYC), and featured in The Future of Art: Best Digital Artists of Our Generation. If there’s a tie, the earlier contribution wins Notes: - Access starts at launch. Founder benefits begin when Y opens its doors. Co-creation will start earlier (e.g., a Telegram group where I share the build and you help shape it; occasional live sessions to co-create together) - No pay-to-win feeds. ā€œPriority visibilityā€ = human-curated founder highlights (rings, spotlights, showcases), not hidden boost mechanics - Non-transferable membership. Badges/status are tied to your account; NFTs are collectible and may be transferable - Yearly plan cap. The $75 yearly plan is limited to 1,000 active memberships each year. Higher tiers are crowdfund-only for now; any future availability will be decided together as a community Y is more than an app to me. It’s a promise to design with honesty, to move at a human pace, and to make beauty useful. If this speaks to you, your support fuels a beginning. It tells me there are others who want the same kind of internet: quieter, kinder, more alive. Thank you for reading, and for believing that what we make can make us! 🌹 With gratitude, Eduard 🌹 Let’s make it mean. 🌹

I’ve been working on two T-shirts. It wasn’t easy to get here, especially after losing all my money to a scam from a T-shirt manufacturer. But this time I’m doing it differently using not the cheapest services but at least the most secure ones (I’ve used them in the past). It’s simpler for me as an artist, dreamer, and creator to share garments this way, and it means I can finally keep creating without being blocked. I came up with these T-shirts because I’m constantly looking for ways to raise funds to get the gear I need to keep building and bringing my other dream projects to life The first T-shirt is a reminder that kindness doesn’t need a budget. It’s the cheapest and most valuable thing we can give. Every act of kindness literally costs zero dollars. I believe deeply in the power of kindness, and through this tee I want to spread that truth, to open eyes, and hopefully hearts, to realize kindness is always free to offer The second T-shirt was inspired by the chase of luxury that defines much of today’s world. The excess, the glitter, the things society calls ā€œsuccess.ā€ But I believe these things, while nice to have, aren’t everything. This endless pursuit of status often makes us forget how to be kind, how to care, how to remain human. We reach for luxury, only to realize that in the end we’ve been Dripping In Nothing as it all fades into smoke Both are printed on high-quality cotton. The fit is relaxed, but if you’d like an oversized version, let me know as we can make it happen (price differs slightly) Each T-shirt carries its own nature. The ā€œDripping In Nothingā€ tee will be limited to 15 pieces only. I want these first garments to feel like small artifacts from this chapter of the story and to be a reminder that what the world calls luxury always fades, always ends The ā€œBe Kindā€ tee has no number. Kindness can’t be counted. It’s infinite by design just like kindness. Spontaneous, free, and meant to appear wherever someone chooses to carry it. Price: - ā€œBe Kindā€ Tee → $50 / 50 USDC (worldwide shipping included) - ā€œDripping In Nothingā€ Tee → $40 / 40 USDC (worldwide shipping included) If you’d like to order one (or both), just send me a DM (here or on Telegram or wherever you prefer; same username on all platforms: eduardmsmr). There’s no online shop yet, so I’ll take care of everything directly. You can also pay with crypto (preferred) Thank you for supporting not just these T-shirts, but also the bigger story I’m trying to write!🌹

There are moments when we smile and we can feel the distance between the expression and the emotion that should live inside it. Eccedentisiast was born from that tension, from the space between sincerity and survival, between the masks we wear and the feelings we keep hidden To bring this project to life, I brought together six pieces of art I created over time, each one reflecting a different emotion or behavior we face today. Their worlds, their symbols, and their quiet truths form the backbone of this piece, guiding its tone and shaping its meaning. Through them, I explored fear disguised as reason, desire hidden behind restraint, the heaviness of old skins, the dance between light and shadow, and the quiet ache of longing to be seen Eccedentisiast is my reflection on what it means to stay human in a world that often rewards performance more than presence. It is about the courage to feel deeply, to stay kind even when kindness feels naive, to love without transaction, and to smile, not because everything is perfect, but because we still believe the world can be gentler. This piece was submitted to the Chroma Awards hackathon. I genuinely did not think I would be able to complete it in time, but I am proud that it is ready. It may not be perfect, but it means a lot to me because it is the first time I have ever tried creating a video like this. I enjoyed the process, faced many challenges along the way, and still found my way through them, which makes the piece even more meaningful to me You can explore the full story behind the piece through the link below https://thehiddeni.substack.com/p/eccedentisiast Thank you for watching, feeling, and experiencing Eccedentisiast!🌹
