History[edit]

FFFACE.ME was founded by Dmytro Kornilov and Yegor Kumachov in June 2019 and initially focused on Instagram filters.[7][8][9]

In 2021, FFFACE.ME introduced Europe's first virtual influencer, Astra Starr.[10][11][12][13]

In October 2020, FFFACE.ME collaborated with Ukrainian designer brand FINCH to create the world's first immersive fashion collection, allowing users to virtually try on looks via Instagram globally.[14][15]

In February 2021, the studio and apparel brand FINCH collaborated with 5 international digital artists, muralists, and designers to create a clothing line that merges virtual and physical elements. Scanning the QR code printed on each item in the collection activates the AR component for that piece.[16][17]

On April 5, 2023, FFFACE.ME collaborated with Bershka to introduce the world's first semi-digital clothing collection for the mass market. The "Wearable Art" collection was presented in the new Bershka store in Lisbon. It allows customers to add digital elements to specific physical garments by using the Instagram filter.[18][19][20]

In May 2023, to promote Mugler's new fragrance Angel Elixir, the French brand created a series of interactive XR installations, which digitally apply the Angel Elixir effect on visitors of Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, Alexa Mall in Berlin, and PEP Mall in Munich.[21][22][23]

In September 2023, FFFACE.ME launched a project for PRADA against the backdrop of the Paris Opera.[24][25]

On October 11, FFFACE.ME collaborated with Maybelline New York to launch an augmented reality (AR) installation for Maybelline's Falsies Surreal mascara.[26][27]

In October 2023, FFFACE.ME, in collaboration with digital artist Ines Alpha, created an official Instagram filter for The Rolling Stones' album release.[28]
