Collaboration RITA HOWIS X HDV
Lately I am doing a lot of business in France and I am excited to share with you one of my latest collaborations with sustainable ready-to-wear brand HDV! Are you into comfortable, yet cool clothes, supporting small businesses and sharing slow fashion values? Then this story is for you!
I met Timothe ( founder of HDV) in my Colorflow Copenhagen Showroom at the end of 2020. I had just finished the ‘The Wave’ painting and I was going through some emotional times and expressed it on that canvas.
The art piece caught Timothe's eyes and spoke out to him in such a way that he simply could not leave my showroom without it. Soon after, I shipped it to France. After a while, he proposed that we should make a collaboration together with his HDV brand through an art line of cool hoodies! I developed an artwork series in collaboration with @hdv_officiel that portrays bees, the soul of HDV brand 🐝 Through these artworks, printed on amazing quality hoodies, we wish to remind people about the importance of bees in our ecosystem.
HDV is a French ready-to-wear brand with a strong concept. It stands for the notion that each one of us has its own "Life Hygiene Pot" and must participate in the protection of the environment with an eco-responsible objective. Honey is the product of the work of bees, which have an essential and primordial role in preserving biodiversity. It alone encompasses the values that HDV wants to convey through the natural quality aspect while respecting beings and nature.
HDV's main values:
Ethical value
Respect for people and workers directly or indirectly in connection with the production of HDV clothing. Each collection is established through a strict process aimed at respecting humans and their work. The cultivation of traditional cotton is polluting and harmful and the WHO denounces 22,000 deaths due to exposure to toxic products. HDV's organic cotton is GMO-free, chemical-free, pesticide-free, insecticide-free and less water-intensive during the manufacture process resulting in products made with respect for nature!
Ecological value
Respect for the environment in the choice of eco-responsible materials for the HDV items offered is at the heart of its commitment. That is why each garment is made of organic, natural or recycled/recyclable materials such as organic cotton, recycled polyester. For transport, items are put in cardboard packages with a reuse and recycling option, without plastic.
If you, like me, would like to wear comfortable, high-quality and beautifully design clothes, supporting small businesses and sharing slow fashion values, getting a hoodie sounds like a great idea!
Collaboration is a great way to bring fresh ideas, creativity, and different perspectives together. The partnership between Rita Howis and HDV sounds like an interesting example of how working together can create something meaningful. Just as collaboration encourages people to think differently, casual games can also offer a fun way to relax and refresh the mind. Anyone looking for a simple gaming experience can try the poop game.
This collaboration between Rita and HDV is truly inspiring! I love how the bee motif ties so beautifully into the brand's environmental message — it's such a clever way to merge art with sustainability. The fact that Timothe was moved to purchase "The Wave" painting in the showroom says so much about how art can spark genuine connections between creators. I also really appreciate HDV's commitment to organic cotton and plastic-free packaging. It's refreshing to see a fashion brand that takes its eco-responsible values seriously rather than just using sustainability as a marketing buzzword. Hoodies that carry such a meaningful message?

What a thoughtful collaboration! I love how Rita Howis and HDV connected art with sustainable fashion while also highlighting the important role bees play in our ecosystem. The use of organic and recycled materials makes the concept even more meaningful. It is refreshing to see creativity being used to support environmental awareness. For people who enjoy experimenting with creative digital content, a Funky Text Generator can be another simple way to make text more visually interesting and expressive.
This collaboration is a great example of how different creative perspectives can come together and create something engaging. I particularly liked the emphasis on originality and visual expression throughout the project. Creative experimentation often opens up new ways to communicate ideas and make content more memorable. Tools such as Wingding Translator can also add an interesting element to typography and digital design projects. It is definitely worth exploring for creative inspiration.
Excellent post! The collaboration reflects great creativity and attention to detail. While working with visuals and digital content, I often use a Pink Screen to test monitor colors and create distraction-free backgrounds. It's a simple yet effective resource for designers and creators. Thanks for sharing this inspiring update.
