Should the following $197,900 grant in the In-World Content category be approved?
Abstract
Since Roy, the founder of Metaverse Labs, was elected as the leader of Dragon City in 2019, Dragon City is now becoming one of the most active communities and beautiful land l in the Decentraland; we’ve spent tremendous money, time, and love for maintaining, developing Dragon City as our dreamland in the Metaverse. It is very challenging for a small team to survive for such a long time (from 2019, over 3 years) without funding outside, without income inside, but all are from Roy’s pocket. We need your support for Dragon City to continue building as the most attractive place in the Metaverse.

Description
Dragon City - the largest Asian community in Decentraland, is once again invited to be the official partner district of MVFW23. Collaborating with one of the leading global design studios, Sybarite, a brand-new Fashion Opera House will be launched as the main MVFW23 Asia scene to host fashion shows and related performances. With the support from MVFW23 Asia ambassador Gemma A. Williams and WWD China, more than 10 famous and influential Chinese fashion designers will showcase their fabulous wearables at the event. Chen Peng, a designer who contributed costumes for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics opening ceremony, is particularly noteworthy. He is best known for his unique, one-size approach to fashion; his design will be one of the event highlights. The Metaverse Hanfu Museum displays Hanfu designs.
Metaverse Fashion Opera
The concept of Metaverse Fashion Opera comes from a brainstorm in a call between Gemma, Alastair, and Roy. And soon, the story behind the first metaverse fashion opera, #CAPITAL, is created and composed by Alastair.
The immersive, reality-bending imagination of China’s first metaverse platform Dragon City will combine with Fashion Opera to create a new work — and a new stage in developing this nascent genre.

House of Synergos, the world’s first Metaverse House
The Fashion Opera House, named House of Synergos, is located in Dragon City’s MVFW zone, Polywood, built by Metaverse Labs and designed by Sybarite. Sybarite is an architectural studio best known for contributing to the ever-changing face of benchmark retail, experiential culture, and hospitality.
Partnering with a design studio, Sybarite, we will build a new project — a new genre of art into the Metaverse: Metaverse Fashion Opera (MVFO). Metaverse Fashion Opera is an innovative project to explore the border between Metaverse, fashion, and opera.

Fashion Opera #CAPITAL
Our first Fashion Opera #CAPITAL, hosted at House of Synergos at #MVFW2023, explores dematerialization in the metaverse.
For Metaverse Fashion Week 2023, the immersive, reality-bending imagination of China’s first metaverse platform Dragon City is to host Alastair White’s latest fashion opera (“a whole exciting new genre of art” — BBC Radio 3): #CAPITAL.

Catwalk system
After the second MVFW, we will continue to build a zone called Polywood(downtown Dragon City) as the hub of MVFW Asia. We may need more time and financial resources to achieve this goal. Other jobs include more Brands stores, road and media advisement systems, and a broadcast center, bringing more Chinese and different eastern countries like Korea and Japan into the Dragon City. I know this journey is not easy; we have already spent more than 3 years on the road; I hope I can walk with you accompany, to build a place called home for everyone; this is our mission and destiny, the task of Metaverse Labs- create a second home for people.
