Chris Habana discusses his favoritism among music's top performers and dissects Xtina's futuristic Pride Island looks.
We had been operating as a jewelry company for a while, selling to shops and such, and only a few stylists would ask me to do custom pieces. The first artist I worked with was Nicki Minaj for herWe had done a full-on metal breastplate and panties. Admittedly, it wasn’t the best, as we had created the look very much like a jewelry piece, unable to stand the wear and tear on stage, but she still loved it; from there, more stylists asked if I could make something custom for them.
Honestly, I am the last person to realize how big we’ve gotten. I usually keep my head down and try to make the looks, considering what will be most intriguing and forward for the artist and culture. Then I get reminders from my team saying, “This music artist is really big. You know that this is a big thing?” It’s nice because it brings me back to appreciating everything we do. As it’s happening, though, you’re just kind of churning the shit out. You know what I mean?For sure.
I’m glad you picked up on that! You’re definitely on the right track. I take so much inspiration from classic sci-fi visuals likewhenever I imagine a design, whether it be a style for CHRISHABANA collections or a custom look. Most of our commissioned looks in the past few years were specifically for performers on stage or in music videos. This taught me to imagine our designs existing within that frame. Keeping that in mind, I fell in love with things like light and motion that can make a statement without adding too much impracticality to an outfit.
