Harnas
How do you turn a medical aid into a powerful fashion statement?
This harnas-system is a collection of harnesses and accessories designed for people who use an insulin pump, catheter, or similar medical devices. It demonstrates that disability, design, and fashion are not only compatible, but can amplify one another. This project breaks through the norms and reframes disability through pride and power.
Throughout the design process, three artists co-created the collection of fashion accessories: Hey Jude, Viva Sage and Turncoat Studios. Each contributed their own interpretation of the harness, based on the buckles and straps designed by Nina Van Herck. The straps are crafted from vegan mycelium leather, produced by MycaNova.
The fashion accessories are created with the very biological molecule that people with diabetes often struggle with, transforming it into a source of empowerment. Each harness is custom-made for people with medical devices, yet above all, they are colorful, fashionable, and accessible to everyone.
HUMN.AID is a collaboration with NoBabes Agency and MycaNova, created together with artists Hey Jude, Viva Sage and Turncoat Studios. Styling was provided by Finne Smets featuring pieces by Nanook Cools and Essentiel Antwerp. Lieven Storme was our make-up artist.
Our models and our experts by experience are Meike De Roest, Simie Ruts and Morgane Hutse.
