Stella Greenspan and Delphine Danhier collaborated on the short film across New York and Paris.
, their uniform has remained constant since the early days of quarantine: the humble hoodie.
It’s an item of clothing that proves to be surprisingly versatile. To begin with, the pair were styling hoodies into everything from minidresses to avant-garde tops, before sharing their efforts with each other over WhatsApp. “Delphine was in Europe for a job just before lockdown and was stuck there, so we started FaceTiming a lot,” Greenspan explains.
Enlisting the help of one of Danhier’s friend, the American dancer Juliet Doherty, along with an editor and animator, the pair’s playful vision features Doherty showing off the stylists’ hybridized garments in all their cut-and-paste glory. “We were trapped indoors at the time, and the idea of being able to move freely and movement as an expression felt timely,” Greenspan explains of the freewheeling dance moves Doherty came up with.
While the project might have started as a welcome distraction for the pair during the most severe weeks of lockdown, it ended up with both reflecting on the future of their jobs as stylists given the precarious circumstances the fashion industry now finds itself in—and an affirmation that it’s still possible to remain creative even when working with the most limited means. “It was nice to have the time to be a little more free and playful,” says Greenspan. On this, Danhier agrees.
