With an armful of breezy songs and a breakout role on Euphoria, singer-songwriter DOMINIC FIKE has become the multi-hyphenate face of the Web3 era (complete with Apple tattoo). So we enlisted him to help us figure out what, exactly, we'll wear in the real world when life moves into the metaverse.

META MODERN

WHEN SINGER-SONGWRITER Dominic Fike tried out for a role in the debut season of Euphoria, it wasn't just his first time auditioning for a big part on a show. It was his first time acting, period. Fike had been approached by the show's casting director and made it through several rounds of callbacks easily. Then Euphoria creator Sam Levinson invited him to do a final chemistry read with series regular Barbie Ferreira. Fike decided to prepare like all the greats do: with a little bit of method acting. Since Euphoria is centred on a high school full of more drugs than a pharmacy, Fike took a bunch of shrooms and headed to the audition. You can kind of see where this is going. "I started peaking right when me and Barbie were reading," he says with a laugh.

It could have been brilliant-when Fike trusts his instincts, things have a way of working out. But then he looked at the script and saw the letters dancing around. And then he looked at Levinson and-in Fike's psychedelic mind's eye, anyway-the show creator was standing there in a dress. Fike broke out laughing, as he recalls: "I looked at him and I was like, Are you wearing a dress right now? It was crazy. I started making fun of everybody in the room." It was a disaster. When he got home, his agents called him with feedback: "They were like, What. The. Fuck." He didn't get the part.
