“We are excited to launch the first series of Vogue Singapore mystery boxes on Binance. This is a step towards a long-term strategy to bridge the crypto and gaming communities with digital investors, curious tech-savvy consumers, and luxury brands,” said Michael von Schlippe, president of Media Publishers, the publisher of Vogue Singapore.

“The mystery boxes will serve as a continuous process to engage the crypto community and allow them to interact with Vogue in a new format.”

Why is Vogue launching the NFT mystery boxes?

  • The boxes are created in partnership with Brytehall, a premium NFT platform launching in September to target the crypto-community as well as NFT collectors, and NFKings Productions, a Binance-invested creative, and productions agency. 

  • The boxes contain NFT artworks that depict the moment of sunrise in 10 cities around the world, along with a Vogue astronaut exploring each city.

  • The 10 cities available in the mystery boxes are Hong Kong, London, Milan, New York, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Seoul, Shanghai, Sydney and Tokyo.

  • The collectors who obtain all 10 cities will be directed to a Binance Smart Chain-powered decentralized marketplace RARA via a secret link for an opportunity to purchase an eleventh and limited-edition Singapore sunrise NFT, thereby completing the full Vogue Singapore Mystery Box set. 

  • Collectors who own the complete Vogue Singapore Mystery Box set stand a chance to win two physical luxury timepieces and those who obtain three super rare city cards from the Vogue Mystery Box will also join a lucky draw to win one of three staycations with HoteLux.

Aloha! I'm Floppy. I'm a Aerobics Athlete by day, and I like braiding people's hair by night. It wasn't heavily publicized, but I once had a brief relationship with Hobbes. Will you be the ranch dressing to my peanut butter?
Fuku-Shiva
The term “Fuku” refers to fortune or good luck. “Shiva” refers to the Hindu deity who represents strongly polar qualities, both severe and delicate. On a beach inspired by adventures on Phi Phi island in Thailand, three youths cavort. Two are representational figures and the third is psychologically rendered. A dynamic relationship ensues between the triad; a reciprocity of active and passive states. The boy on the right engages in maneuvers of evasion, defense, and is dressed in a speedo which reiterates the colors and symbolism of the caution tape on the left and upper right frame of the composition. In concurrent reaction the psychedelic figure shoots out a rocket powered paper airplane. The nude boy seated in the froth and sand approaches in passive repose, and is met with active attention but equal physical reserve by the psychedelic being. Perhaps the most naked figure is also the least representational. Looming large, dynamic, and active, it engages its companions playfully. Various symbols interject into the otherwise naturalistic scene, most notably a beach ball and two contaminated barrels nested in the sand. The upright barrel reads “FukuShima” in Kanji. The barrel laying down reads “Dharma”. To the left the scene is bounded by caution tape, reiterating the danger of the nuclear waste while also hosting alien archetypes, whose presence, as is the nature of these entities, runs up and just behind the consciousness of the psychedelic figure’s eggshell-like skull.
