In a recent fashion event, designer Chris Habana showcased his collection with Elon Musk’s oldest daughter, Vivian Wilson, strutting down the runway. The New York fashion scene is no stranger to Habana who has crafted unique outfits for several celebrities including, but not exclusive to, Beyoncé, Madonna, Zendaya, Lady Gaga, Doechii, Doja Cat, Erykah Badu, Shaboozey and Tyla. Showcasing on September 15, he held court at the Ideal Glass House, divining 18 new spring-summer designs that drew richly from the boundaries of confinement and growth.
Habana’s vision draws its roots from the contemporary and the esoteric, refracting through the lens of science fiction and punk culture, as well as international trends. A subtle undercurrent of BDSM can be noted, shown through distinct design aspects like his choice of a pastel-hued wet-molded leather. At only 21, Vivian Wilson is a young addition to the modeling world but has already been making waves.
Wilson’s modeling journey has already led her to the platforms of designers like Prabal Gurung, Dauphinette, and Alex Bittar. As she makes her entrance into an entirely new scene, she relishes in the opportunity to encounter different faces. She fondly remarks that the best part of her growing modeling career is the chance to network and meet fresh people.
Wilson, currently based in Los Angeles and signed with CAA, remained guarded about discussing her modeling earnings. As she is relatively new to this profession, she recounted her astonished reaction to wearing a dress solely constructed from safety pins, a first for her. The memorable garment was ingeniously crafted by Habana for one of her earliest walks in the New York Fashion Week.
She has discovered and adopted various fashion tips over her nascent career, most notably those involving blister pads and shoe-stretching spray to ensure the best fit. While Wilson always had a circle of fashion-conscious friends, she confessed she did not always aspire to be a model. Her mother, however, had always dreamt of her pursuing a modeling career.
She began to practice her runway strides from an early age, sparked by her mother’s dreams. Born and raised in the city of Los Angeles, Wilson’s life until now has been shaped by the city and its influence. However, she maintains privacy when it comes to discussing her famous father’s impact on her journey.
Her semblance is formidable with a height of six feet and long, light brown hair. In her off-work hours, she chooses comfort over style, revealing her preferred attire to be sweatpants. She believes that dressing casually in sweatpants, paired with a tank top and a layer of a sweater or jacket, is the most comfortable, even if it is considered a fashion faux pas.
The alluring looks that Wilson possesses are something she credits to her mother, Justine. Justine and Elon Musk were together from 2000 to 2008, during which they had six children, one of whom tragically passed away as an infant. Elon Musk, also known for creating Tesla and SpaceX, is a father to 14 children.
A few years back, Wilson transitioned her name to Vivian in recognition and respect for her gender identity. Aside from modeling, she also indulges in influencing as a secondary profession. While she doesn’t have current plans to venture into clothing design, she does not entirely negate the prospect.
As she looks forward to what the future holds for her career, Wilson hints, ‘Who knows what the future holds, darling?’ On the evening preceding the show, she admitted to experiencing a few pre-show jitters. She confidently stated her focus remains on the task at hand once she is on the runway, leaving little room for any distracting thoughts.
When asked about Habana’s new spring-summer collection, Wilson enthusiastically expressed her adoration for a safety pin adorned gown. However, she was less sanguine about New York City’s cacophony, commenting on how the city’s incessant noise often disrupted her rest. She humorously added how the city’s inhabitants were always in apparent hurried motion and had a knack for poor driving.
In the end, Habana is eager to articulate the unique perspective his fashion studio brings. In his own words, he voiced his excitement at having the opportunity to create culture-defining outfits for notable innovators around the world while sharing his creative vision distinctly. He referred to it as a dream scenario, demonstrating his dedication and love for his craft.
