Odette on the virtual fashion market
Odette Lunettes is a Belgian, Antwerp-based designer eyewear brand founded in 2015 by TV host Eline De Munck and visual art director Bob Geraets. Today, the brand has grown into a leading international eyewear brand. The reason for its success lies in the constant search for new horizons. This time, the brand launched a collab with World Champion and former cyclist Tom Boonen, representing Odette Lunettes’ commitment to sports, innovation and technology.
Odette Lunettes wants to be front runner in virtual fashion and that’s why the brand is exploring the metaverse with a first NFT collection. Virtual fashion is a big opportunity and that’s why exploring NFT's makes sense. We are spending many hours a week in virtual worlds. Mostly in video calls, but avatar integration is just around the corner.

Ambition, self-confidence and stubbornness; 3 characteristics of former world champion cycling Tom Boonen that matches the identity of Odette Lunettes. These similarities have been given a creative expression in a pair of 3D printed cross-over sports glasses. The glasses are being sold in 3 different styles: blue, black and khaki, representing the 3 times Tom Boonen has won the Tour of Flanders (Ronde van Vlaanderen).
To celebrate the collab with Tom Boonen, Odette Lunettes launches its first NFT collection existing of 3 exclusive digital artworks, 3D printed sunglasses and a 3D printed bust. As a 3-time winner of the Tour of Flanders, Tom Boonen truly is the god of cycling. To honour his achievement we launch the auction of the NFTs on the 3rd of April, the day the Tour of Flanders starts in Antwerp, where Odette Lunettes was born.
More than just an NFT
When you buy the Odette Lunettes NFT you receive a life-size 3D printed bust of Tom Boonen and the exclusive Odette Lunettes x Tom Boonen frame. Given the bust and glasses are included in the NFT, you're not just buying a digital artwork for the metaverse. You are also taking a fashion item and artwork into your home. We are planning to do more collabs and to start launching physical artworks as well. In this way the Odette Lunettes NFTs will become a true collector’s item and their value will keep on rising. Stay tuned!
