Dear Shaded Viewers,
I met the guys from Surface to Air decades ago, now they are back with PHOENIX RISING and dropping their NFT which they are launching as the first of a series. The NFT comes with a customized smoke machine in the annimation for each of the BOODIES.
For the BOODIE ghost cloak …
Introducing THE BOODIE – a luxurious ghost cloak unlike any other, created by founders of the late great cult brand Surface to Air, now known as PHOENIX RISING.
Designed specifically for life inside the metaverse, the BOODIE is one part phantom, one part hoodie – a giant piece of wearable art to both conceal and reveal. Each of the 10 ‘origin’ BOODIES have been hand created by Gordon Hull of @p.h.o.e.n.i.x.r.i.s.i.n.g and are known as THE NEW ORDER.
Phoenix Rising is an inter-dimensional global creative entity rising from
the ashes of the late, great cult brand Surface to Air.
@brand new Visio.n
It’s mission is to bring a beautiful sense of irreverence and optimism into the world with an undying, underlying sense of freedom and style.
It’s mantra is simple:
Phoenix Rising is about everything, nothing and the meaning of love.
Because at the end of the day, what else is there?
It’s ‘why’ is rather a ‘why not?’
Phoenix Rising exists not because it needs to, but because it has no reason not to.
It is about creating a certain sense of mystery and myth within its coded messages, a lexicon of fire.
It appears to be, and not to be, anything at all.
It can be; possibility is not a myth it is a reality, and that is the point.
To be possible is to exist.
Phoenix Rising is a platform for creative enterprise and entertainment.
It’s future is in diverse projects and products that go beyond clothing.
