To ring in Lunar New Year with style, McDonald’s teamed up with fashion trailblazer Humberto Leon to curate a unique VR experience. The space showcased the Chinese-Peruvian American designer’s bold and unconventional take on a classic holiday tradition.
The Zodiac animals in the VR space featured parallax-style renderings inspired by the Chinese cork carving dioramas and 3D wood puzzle models.
Humberto Leon pulled inspiration from pop-culture and leaned into his high fashion expertise to fuse colorful patterns with traditional Asian textiles. The exhibit featured Humberto's personal interpretation of each Zodiac animal.
The Zodiac animals were arranged according to the year you were born in and revealed what was in store for you in career, finance, love, wellness, and much more for 2022.
The VR Experience was open from January 31st - February 15th, 2022 and fans from around the world came together to explore the space, meet new friends, and share their wishes for the new year.

Known for their groundbreaking and eclectic merchandise collaborations, the company has been widely regarded as a pioneer of modern hypebeast culture.
Following the success of OC, the Los Angeles native branched out into the world of luxury fashion, serving as the co-creative director of the French fashion house KENZO from 2011 to 2019. As the campaign for the release of his Fall/Winter 2018 collection at KENZO, Leon wrote and directed his first film, The Everything, starring Milla Jovovich, Alexandra Shipps, Kodi Smit McFee, and Leo Reilly.
