HENRIK VIBSKOV ON COOL HUNTING – “DENMARK’S NOTORIOUSLY CONCEPTUAL FASHION DESIGNER IN A NEW BOOK SPANNING BOOBIES TO MINT”

The name Henrik Vibskov is most commonly associated not only with a fashion label, but a multitude of twisted yet tantalising universes created in relation to each collection.

“The Eat“, „Panopticon and On“ and „The Shrink Wrap Spectacular“ are just a few titles of shows Henrik Vibskov has produced lately, each title referring to a different but equally mesmerising world and set of logic.

As a fashion designer Henrik Vibskov has produced over 20 men’s (and later also women?s) collections since he graduated from Central St. Martin?s in 2001, and he is currently the only Scandinavian designer on the official show schedule of the Paris Men?s Fashion Week, which he has been since January 2003.
Since the beginning of his career Henrik has frequently been invited to and participated in festivals, contests and talks such as Swiss Textile Awards 2003, Hye?res Festival 2003 & 2004, Expo 2005 Japan, the Noovo Festival 2007 in Santiago de Compostella, the LungA Art Festival in Iceland 2009 & 2010, the Notch Festival in Beijing in 2009, Gwangju Design Biennale in South Korea in 2011, the Ro?hsska Museum in Go?teborg in 2—011, etc.

Although Henrik has a principle of never giving away clothes to celebrities for commercial purposes, people like M.I.A., Kanye West, Bjo?rk, The Arctic Monkeys, Sigur Ros, Franz Ferdinand, MUM, Lou Reed, LCD Soundsystem or Devendra Banhart have all been spotted in Henrik Vibskov?s designs.
Between designing new collections biannually and creating the universes surrounding them, Henrik keeps himself occupied touring the world as the drummer for electronic musician Trentemøller, and exhibiting at art museums and galleries around the world. Henrik has made exhibitions at PS1 – MoMA in New York, Palais de Tokyo in Paris, ICA in London, Zeeuws Museum in Holland, Kiyomizu-Dera Temple in Kyoto, Japan, Wilhelm Wagendfeld Haus in Bremen, NAI Nederlands Architectuur Instituut in Rotterdam, Holland, The Textile Museum, Washington, USA and Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin in Paris, in collaboration with Elmgreen & Dragset, just to name a few.

With visual artist Andreas Emenius he elaborated an ongoing art project called ‘The Circular Series’, which they begun to work on in 2009. Like in their earlier ‘The Fringe Projects’ collaboration, where the fringe is used formally, in this project the circle is used as a clarifier, or visual glue, linking all the projects to the same universe.

Henrik Vibskov?s collections are sold only through thoroughly selected shops across the globe. 10 Corso Como in Milan, Tom Greyhound in Seoul, RA in Antwerp, Magasin in Moscow, Club 21 in Singapore and his own Henrik Vibskov stores in Copenhagen, New York and Oslo are a few of the most influential stores, but also countries in the burgeoning markets of the Middle East and Eastern Europe have embraced Henrik?s designs.

Throughout his career Henrik?s designs have won him prizes such as the Beck?s Student Future Prize 2000, A?rets Nye Navn 2003, Danish Design Council Award 2007, Brand of the Year DANSK Magazine Fashion Awards 2008, a Præmieringen from the Dansh Arts Foundation in 2009, the 2011 So?derberg prize, the highest doted fashion prize worldwide, as well as the Jury Prize at the Danish Fashion Awards in 2012.

Henrik Vibskov has frequently given lectures and been a jury member at institutions such as Central Saint Martins in London, The Istituto Europeo Di Design in Madrid and the Antwerp Royal Acadamy of Fine Art amongst others.

….Ravenna, per tre volte capitale nei tempi antichi, città d’arte e cultura, patria del mosaico. Passeggiando per il centro, piccolo labirinto di strade strette, ricche di bellezza e tradizione, si può arrivare fino in via Paolo Costa ed imbattersi in qualcosa di assolutamente interessante. No, non è la Torre Pendente della città, ma un luogo che più che al passato è tutto teso verso il futuro: è Glue Clothings, concept store che certamente ha attirato l’attenzione di chi è più permeabile alle tendenze che ancora dovranno venire, all’avanguardia e all’innovazione, alla moda più pura e lontana dai brand degli accessori iper inflazionati e copiati, che in fondo hanno stancato e non hanno più nulla da dire….continua qui http://www.artandfacts.org/2012/05/glue-clothings-a-ravenna-la-capitale-dello-stile/#.T7IeBo6W47b

Sessùn and Anniel Shoes 

Glue C. SS2012

BASED IN COPENHAGEN, WE THRIVE IN THE DIVERSITY BETWEEN OUR CONCRETE SURROUNDINGS AND THE RAWNESS AND IMPERFECTION OF THE SCANDINAVIAN SEASCAPE.
With a peerless approach, we bring fine threads and hand cut sleds that aim to challenge the dull presumptions of surf and design. OH DAWN arises from the surf collective, Shredsled Society. We believe in classics, chaos, clean lines and lots of high quality sweat. A small band of craftsmen and creatives, we are hell bent on making quality goods that reflect this blend of opposites.

OH DAWN is a lifestyle brand founded in 2011.

Exclusive in Italy for Glue Clothings.
