Henry V.




In recognition of last week's Copenhagen Fashion Week, I couldn't help but highlight one of the country's most interestingly talented fashion designers, the man you see above, Henrik Vibskov. To label Mr. Vibskov a "fashion designer" would be like labeling Souljaboy a "good rapper" - it's quite the understatement. His creative talents stretch across the board - he has made considerable accomplishments in the arenas of fashion, music, film And large-scale instillation art.

I first learned about Sir Henrik when I ran across a YouTube video of his Autumn/Winter 2009-2010 collection (below). It was definitely something I hadn't seen before, especially on a runway or at a fashion show. Mr. Vibskov obviously takes his shows seriously, because that's exactly what he gives you, a show. His A/W 09-10 showcase looks like something Alex would have experienced during the Ludovico Technique. Maybe not as ultraviolent, but just as bizarre and experimental. I've also included a video of his Fantabulous Bicycle Music Factory. Where, he puts his models to work, making them create odd symphonies whilst peddling away..









And here are some of the pieces I liked from his Spring/Summer 2010 collection...save the elevated, face- engulfing blond wigs...









Sooo.. be sure to keep your eye on Henrik, who knows what he'll be coming up with next..
