With a background in psychology, she worked in various fields before an unpleasant experience related to respiratory problems forced her to take a break. She used this time to learn about the blockchain technology and started her journey with NFTs and AI generative art.
Crisstiana’s breathing experience has led her to depicting gas masks in her art — she interprets them in various ways and situations, colorful and fashionable, as her signature. Crisstiana works with AI to bring gas masks into the world of high fashion.
Her gas masks are inspired by fashion, flowers, emotions, concepts and experiences. Her passion for fashion stems from her belief that clothing is the most distinctive way of outwardly presenting what we are inside.
“As a traveler in a world of fashion, you have the opportunity to explore and immerse yourself in the diverse styles and trends of different cultures around the globe. Fashion is a universal language that connects people across borders, and as a traveler, you can observe and learn about the different ways in which people express themselves through their clothing and accessories.”

The designer is interested in exploring a future of fashion that’s far beyond what our reality could ever achieve, and is excited to see what’s yet to come in the realm of digital fashion and augmented wardrobes.
“In the beginning I created more designs related to the physical world. But since I started at The Fabricant, I see digital fashion more as a new genre which don’t need to copy reality. We have the chance to defy gravity, have endless resources of materials and creating new textures, which would never exist in the real world.”
