CONSTANÇA ENTRUDO X CASTLE HI HI HI X HUMANA

FAUX CHIC

To celebrate the opening of the independent shop and creative studio CASTLE HI HI HI — a project that unites its community in Lisbon’s historic neighborhood — Constança Entrudo presents a capsule collection in collaboration with Humana. Invited by CHHH, the Designer reinterprets children’s costumes in a collection that reflects the fragmented reality of globalized production, where materials and labor from disparate geographies converge into garments discarded as quickly as they are produced.

The launch event at Lisboa Fashion Week is a relaxed moment that embodies the creative intersection and multidisciplinary spirit of CASTLE HI HI HI, and the only occasion on which the collection will be available for purchase — activating both a sense of urgency and a sense of purpose. For Constança, the obsolete materials she worked with do not represent an end, but a starting point: by reconfiguring second-hand garments into new forms, she proposes a cyclical process in which textiles are continuously restructured, serving at once as a critique and a solution to the system of overproduction.

The link between luxury and degradation is long-standing, embedded in society’s love-hate relationship with excess. Faux Chic embodies this tension: a seduction through simulation, a play on the idea of false luxury using second-hand materials, where Constança Entrudo’s hand is visible in every cut, seam, and tear.

RUN TO HELP
Obsessed with charity-run T-shirts — the garment Constança most frequently found among fast-fashion items in Humana’s warehouses — the collection exposes the ironies of incoherent causes and the lack of awareness surrounding disposable goods. Each piece is a provocation, a critique of fleeting trends of wellness and solidarity that generate disposable products instead of lasting change.
