As we navigate the unique challenges presented as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a focus on community - even if at a distance - has never been more important. The SELF ISOLATION mini-series will stand as testament to the strange times ahead, delivering an interwoven tapestry of how the UrlfreezeShops community are navigating the uncertainty and maintaining their productivity at home as we work together to flatten the curve.
Queen of cross-genre curation, Honey Dijon is a figurehead of the international club scene and needs no introduction. An influential voice at the intersection of music and fashion, Honey Dijon works closely with the don of luxury/streetwear infusion - British design force, Kim Jones - and has collaborated on music curation at Dior Homme since Jones assumed his creative directorship at the Parisian house in 2018.
Splitting her time between Europe and the US, when Honey Dijon is not travelling to deliver blistering sets at venues across the world, she's working on her apparel line in partnership with DSM: Honey Fucking Dijon. Continuing the SELF-ISOLATION mini-series, Honey Dijon delivers her set of intimate portraits from her home in Berlin, detailing her responses to the UrlfreezeShops self iso survey.
Self Isolation Uniform?
"My satin kimono robe - I love loungewear."
Self Isolation Motivation Mantra?
"'Write The Book You Want To Read.' I am a firm believer in creating the world you want to live in. Stop asking for validation outside of yourself. If you do the work and are enthusiastic about what you are doing then it will be easy to get others interested in your vision as well."
Self Isolation Soundtrack?
"The World of Keith Haring - not only was Keith an amazing artist and painter, he had great taste in music as well. He would have made a wicked DJ."
Self Isolation Entertainment?
"'Helmut By June' - I love documentaries. Helmut Newton is one of my favorite photographers and this is love letter to his work by his wife Alice Springs who was also a great photographer. I am obsessed about learning the intimate details of great artists. In fact, the art is in the details."
Self Isolation Reading List?
"Being a Gemini, I multitask like a motherfucker. These are the 3 books I'm currently reading. A dissertation on the queer cult classic Paris Is Burning, a book on physics and spirituality, and a behind the scenes look at Yves Saint Laurent's studio. All the things that get me excited from queer culture to fashion and spirituality."
Self Isolation Workout?
"Yoga. My dear friend Luke Solomon connected me with his yogi in London and we do Zoom sessions twice a week. I've studied yoga for over 15 years and it was a challenge for me to find a teacher that worked for me in Berlin. I finally found one and it's a game changer. "
Self Isolation Fragrance Go-To?
"Anything Byredo or Dior - when I'm in the Dior studio working on music for the Men's shows, there are candles everywhere. I always bring tons back so I can have my whole house smelling like a Parisian Atelier."
Self Isolation Sneaker Rotation?
"Maison Margiela Tabi Boots. I wear sneakers often, but I LOVE Tabi boots. Mama needs a bit of glamour. I have over 30 pairs. I prefer fashion that makes you look at things in a new way."
Self Isolation Essential?
"The Houseparty app - I get to keep up with multiple friends around the world at the same time and I even get to meet new people. It's so much fun."
Self Isolation Passion Project?
"HFD. My collaboration with Dover Street Market Paris is a big passion for me! I made a deal with myself that I would live my entire life creatively 24/7, 365 days a year. Seeing your ideas come to fruition is so rewarding and when it connects with others its like no other feeling in the world."
