The Project
The Art to Wear project enables artists to collaborate with our Maison by revisiting our flagship product, the reversible belt. As a tribute to our great grandfather, Jacques Hopenstand, we decided to offer our belts as a support of expression to contemporary artists we admire. The artists are given carte blanche to create the buckle that is then edited in 20 pieces numbered and signed. A box also created by the artists encloses and protects the creations.
Each new collaboration opens new perspectives and a different approach on the project, thus we decided to invite very diverse artists and not to focus on one specific technique or craft to enrich even more the collection. It's also a great opportunity to challenge our French, Swiss and Italian craftsmen to push further their talents and develop new techniques.
We hope you'll enjoy the collection as much as we are enjoying working with wonderful artists.
