The collection is inspired by the life of photographer Vivian Maier. It is a story about her life, her work and her shadow.
Maier’s most artistic side was unknown until his death and known by true chance. The collection talks about how, by pulling a thread, one of the best photographers of the 20th century is discovered. XX whose greatest virtue is hidden under the routine life of a nomadic, solitary and tremendously hermetic nanny.
This whole story is transformed into a collection that begins with garments converted into structured pieces that rise up to cover the face, tight hoods that help erase identity, or very loose pieces that blur the body and hide it. Soon these garments begin to fade and break down into ribbons that join together, forming a tangle that is difficult to untangle like the photographer’s own life. Finally, the collection is transformed into pieces that mutate and are covered in feathers, referring to Vivian’s capacity for change and nomadic spirit.
The collection is made up of a wide color palette that blends into various color combinations and is complemented by checkered prints and graphic elements. Some of the pieces with the greatest meaning are those in which a chair appears on the front, conceptualizing the loneliness of the photographer despite living her life surrounded by large families with children.
With ‘THE SMALL PRINT‘, Habey Club seeks to create a story through its own imagination and working each garment in a unique and artisanal way.
