Chris Habana has been a busy boy since our interview with him back in August. More jewelry, of course, but he just surprised us with this film for his Spring/Summer 2012 collection. For the film, Chris worked with photographer Dom Smith, breaking down the wall between the audience and model, asking each to share something personal. The question was straightforward: “Tell me about a crazy night out.” Reminiscent of the infamous (and creepy) early '90s Calvin Klein ads (you know the ones), and loosely based on the French parlor game Exquisite Corpse, each person's story combined to became one. Dom captured the essence of the story's truth with keen restraint, allowing Chris' jewelry, with his signature play of hard and soft, cage geometrics, gold facets, and new surreal forms, to be the star. Enjoy!
