POPSUGAR: What was the inspiration behind the collection?
Marrisa Wilson: The inspiration was about the convergence of digital and physical identities. With everything going on with the Metaverse and NFTs that feels far and out there, I wanted to make sure there was space for women and particularly women of colour to be able to play and participate and explore those spaces.
Throughout this entire process, it's really about ownership and being able to own your identity, your art, your craft. The models in the campaigns and shoots came to casting and asked 'How do you want us to walk?' and I said 'I want you to do you, turn up your energy' and immediately, when I did that, the clothes just popped.
So, it's really not even just about me, it's about having the model wear the clothes and feel good in what she's wearing, and it just comes through.
