Event is a platform exploring how fashion editorials could exist in a 3D webspace. This ongoing project reimagines articles, advertisements, and interviews in an immersive online experience. Instead of the traditional scroll layout of online publications, users spatially explore these digital worlds, each dedicated to one story. Although viewable on mobile and VR headset devices, EVENT is best viewed on desktop for its full experience.

These worlds are familiar yet uncanny, sharp yet soft, tactile yet pixelated. Drawing upon the idea of skeuomorphism, I merged technical precision with raw, texturally inconsistent low-poly scans to create a sense of digital tactility—inviting something human and withered into the synthetic.

Just as a traditional magazine houses a collection of printed stories, EVENT creates a digital universe to host a collection of 3D webspace worlds. The name EVENT embodies the platform’s event-driven publication schedule, as each story launches with a countdown.
