‘I actually don't like fashion'
Henrik Vibskov is a multi-talent. Alongside his work in fashion, this Danish artist also makes music with his band, Trentemoller, he shoots prize-winning films, is active in the visual arts and devises the most outlandish performances to present his women's and men's collections. Vibskov's 10th presentation, The Big Wet Shiny Boobies Collection, was a memorable event. Dressed as a pirate, he hammered on drums and washboard while his models wallowed / lay outstretched in a surrealistic field filled with voluptuous breasts on sticks. The artist also made a personal appearance in his most recent show, The Land of Black Carrots Collection, (for which the admission fee was two packs of cigarettes or 50 Danish kroner).
The colourful, somewhat nerdy streetwear by Vibskov (b. 1972) - a fan of Paul Smith and Comme des Garçons - is highly wearable. The ‘Vibskov man' (and, on occasion, the ‘Vibskov woman') wears relaxed, vibrantly patterned clothes.
Vibskov enrolled at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, ‘because a girlfriend was studying there, too.' Soon after graduating in 2000, his work was being exhibited at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, Sotheby's in New York and elsewhere. He has a shop in Copenhagen
