Production for CHRISHABANA

Starting summer 22' I joined the freelance designing team of renowned designer Chris Habana.

Since then I have helped create amazing custom garments alongside other talented individuals.

Below are a few of many freelance projects I took part in:)

Demi Lovato HOLYFVCK tour

For Demi Lovato, I helped create two separate looks with the team.

Full schoolgirl punk look: Sewn patchwork jacket, skirt, and beret., all replete with piercings and bandage strap detailing. Exaggerated shoulders were built into the look and further embellished with silicone dripped hand carved long spikes. We also deconstructed and distressed a black chenille vest, accompanying long sleeve zip up top, double layered set of tights with silicone and piercings. Paired with silicone dripped and spiked out creepers.

Pin striped suit: Sewn then destroyed suit, embellished with chains, hardware, studs, patches hand painted with acrylic and silicone. Paired with a white poet undershirt with distressed lace and gauze trim details.

PUMA NYFW

We created two athletic inspired looks for the Puma FUTROGRADE show creative directed by June Ambrose

Football inspired suit: Reconstructed shoulder pads, padded faux leather bottoms, and a Palomo Spain x Puma logo printed bodysuit.

Windbreaker set: Outfitted with a hood, zipper details, and back parachute.

Collection SS23

OOZE: CHRISHABANA Spring/Summer 23'

CHRISHABANA's latest presentation imagines the evolution of our relationship with queerness, identity, and body politics. This collection was created with silicone, piercing embellishments, and exaggerated jewelry details.

LaQuan Smith NYFW

In collaboration with LaQuan Smith, the team created 3D printed body plates inspired by marble busts. I was able to help with the finishing touches of sewing on the strapping and assembling the breast nipple piercing together and onto the plate.

Theo Phillio NYFW

In collaboration with Theo Phillio SS23', the team created two feather headdresses decorated with gold chains, cowrie shells, and crystals to pay homage to designer Edvin Thomson's Jamaican roots for their "Homecoming" show celebrating Jamaican carnival festivities.

Details: Using molding and painting worbla, alongside balsa wood and feather, we created a two part red/orange feather wheel and elongated head base.

The next piece is a black/yellow/green crown with 3 foot long plumes, all embellished with crystal and gold cowrie shells.

Kid Cudi- Members of the Rage

Kid Cudi commissioned CHRISHABANA to realize his ideas for his debut brand "Members of the Rage". For the Paris Fashion Week debut, I was able to work on the Moon duffle which was hand crafted with clay/foam/paint.

Latto wears custom CHRISHABANA for her recent music video "Lottery". The team constructed a draped metal mesh top with a hood, matching panties, laser cut "LATTO" waist chain, & lush pink faux fur coat with a lining of "raining" printed Latto $100 bills. We also constructed all five back up dancers 70's inspired looks.

Willy Chavarria

For Willy Chavarriane's AW23 Collection "Kangaroo", they commissioned CHRISHABANA to create oversized silk gardenias.

We patterned, hand cut, sewed, and finished 5"-8" gardenias made from silk to accent the collection.

Met Gala 23'

Met Gala 2023 , June Ambrose called on CHRISHABANA to craft a camellia puffer cape. Under their direction, the design was executed so the cape appeared to have been stuffed by Camellias bursting out of the seams. This look was created with respecting the aesthetics of Chanel for the theme in honoring Karl Lagerfeld.
