The CAM4 Pop-Up Neighborhood Moms Are Complaining About
When asked to describe the ethos of his namesake jewelry line, NYC-based designer Chris Habana says, "anything but 'easy.'"
“We like challenging the norm, we like making people think and having them be intrigued by things,” he says about the boundary-pushing, fetish-indebted line, which features everything from nipple pasties to rings made to resemble a hand jerking off a penis. “Moving thoughts to other realms, people might not have necessarily thought about before.”
“We were very cognizant of making something [that passerbys] wouldn’t be offended by, but we’ve had people telling us that the sex store around the corner covers their windows… but they only carry sex toys,” he continues. “We’re, for the most part, an accessory store. There may be sexual components to it but, at the end of the day, we’re a retail shop.”
“I feel like the world is getting so closed off these days and no one wants to talk about it.”
