Faced Fears

All Stereohype button badges available at stereohype.com are classic high quality one inch (25mm) metal back badges with so-called D-pin. Tiny stickers at the back mention the artist, release date, series number, etc. The growing collection of these mobile mini canvases – featuring over 1,700 individual designs by over 600 international graphic designers, illustrators, photographers and artists – consists of all B.I.O. (By Invitation Only) contributions, winners of Stereohype's annual button badge design competition and additional series such as the special collaborations: AFOMFS Series, MICA Series, 10x10 Series and Emoji Series. Badges are manufactured in the United Kingdom.

With this set, Émilie aims to reinvent the concept of the badge, sometimes seen as a reward, in order to celebrate small victories and acts of self-care. When struggling with mental health, it can be difficult to see the strength it takes to achieve such positive acts. Her button badges are a way to not forget how brave we are in times of struggle.

Berlin-based, French-born Émilie Chabridon mixes diverse mediums and inspirations to create visuals and projects that trigger discussions around mental health, feminism, rape culture and other social issues we face as millennials in today's society.
