Q&A with Lauren Remington Platt, FTX's new head of global luxury partnerships Anu__Dave chats with laurenremington
Lauren Remington Platt, the new head of global luxury partnerships for FTX, says she “really saw a huge opportunity” at the intersection of fashion and crypto.
In an interview with The Block, Platt -- formerly the co-founder and CEO of on-demand beauty company Vensette -- explains why she entered the crypto space, what her role at FTX will entail, the benefit to consumers when fashion brands move into crypto, and what she hopes to accomplish in this new role.You have a lot of experience in the fashion industry and could’ve done a lot of other things.
Let’s say you purchase a watch. You will know who the owner was before, and if it’s authentic and legitimate. You know that it's not fake, so you can really track that item. Also, just from an operational perspective, the blockchain is powerful in terms of speeding up that process. It just makes it a lot more efficient. When it comes to NFTs in the metaverse, you know, I think that's a personal decision for the brand.
