Luxury fashion platform SYKY partners with Polygon at L’espace Réaumur for NFT Paris, serving as the event’s official fashion collaborator. This collaboration celebrates SYKY.com’s integration with Polygon PoS.
The event, which kicked off on February 23, 2024, unveiled exclusive SYKY Collective capsule collections curated by digital fashion designer Stephy Fung and mixed-reality fashion house Nextberries. These collections highlighted the intersection of global streetwear culture with the digital world.
The designers debuted their collections, which share similarities in their interpretation of streetwear in relation to their cultural roots. SYKY continues to strengthen its position as a leading innovative fashion platform, bringing together emerging and established designers at the intersection of physical and digital reality.
“We are excited to showcase the diverse styles, ideas and creative ingenuity within the SYKY community at NFT Paris with Polygon Labs,” said Alice Delahunt, CEO and Founder of SYKY. “We spotlight Stephy Fung and Nextberries from our collective, pioneers at the intersection of digital and physical domains in streetwear.

Fashion’s multidimensional ecosystem
The future of fashion combines physical and digital reality to create richer, more immersive experiences for designers and customers alike. In this grand presentation of how fashion is transforming, SYKY proudly presents these two striking emerging luxury fashion houses:
Stephy Fung | The four dragons 四龍
A London-based digital fashion designer known worldwide for her streetwear and athleisure digital designs, Fung’s collection is inspired by her Chinese heritage and pays tribute to this year’s zodiac’s Year of the Dragon.
At its core, her brand is culture-focused and drives the narrative of self-confidence in identity and culture. With NFTs, metaverse ventures and augmented reality explorations, the brand focuses on experimental and future-oriented handling of digital formats.
For her first launch of SYKY Collective, she produced:
Four unique digital fashion items that can be worn in virtual worlds:
Long Dragon 長龍
Pearl Dragon 珠龍 (available exclusively through Polygon)
Yellow Dragon 黃龍 (physical and digital)
Black Dragon黑龍
Nextberries | Ezumezu
Nextberries™ is a luxury phygital fashion house from Nigeria that combines heritage with technology. The Ezumezu collection interweaves the ancient and the contemporary.
Drawn from Igbo culture, the collection symbolizes a communal gathering and embodies the elemental essence of a god: the solidity of the earth (Ala) and the intensity of fire (Amadioha). Nextberries™ manifests this collection as a living expression of ethereal power.
Two unique digital garments:
Ala (available exclusively through Polygon)
Amadioha (physical and digital)
