What is Milady Maker?

Milady Maker is a collection of 10,000 generative profile picture NFTs with a neochibi aesthetic inspired by street style tribes of Y2K Japan, according tomiladymaker.net. The Milady brand supports a thriving ecosystem of derivative projects from its fan community, such as the Redacted Remilio Babies. Each Milady NFT generates a variety of accessories, and their overall stylishness is rated with a drip score that helps tie value to aesthetics over pure trait scarcity, as per mythofcapitalism.com. The Milady style is inspired by the subcultural fashion tribes of Y2K Japan, and they are highly sought-after on Crypto Twitter, with a floor price of 1.95 ETH, according to mythofcapitalism.com.

Miladys are NFTs, which are financial instruments with their own discrete value, as per coindesk.com. The cheapest Miladys will cost you about $2,000 before fees, though they’ve historically sold for much more. The art for these 10,000 profile pictures was designed by a Remilia member called “Milady Sonora,” or “Milady Sonoro,” according to coindesk.com. The mastermind behind the project (and the self-identified “CEO” of Remilia) appears to be “Charlotte Fang,” also known as Charlie or Charlemagne, according to coindesk.com.

Miladys are rated with a drip score from "SS" tier down to "Normal," according to coindesk.com. Miladys with rarer items (clothes, accessories, skin colors) are assigned a higher drip score. Some have criticized the decision to use “SS,” rather than just “S,” given the shared initials with the Nazi paramilitary organization, though Fang has denied any such connection, as per coindesk.com.
