The environment and how we humans act around it, is an unquestionable issue nowadays, which leads to questions about our awareness on reaching a more sustainable approach towards nature and agriculture. Farming inspired this Autumn / Winter 2019 collection. Reflections about how various ways of growing the food we eat every day, whether it’s in the city or in the countryside affect our life and the planet, encourages to rethink and develop new methods.

This collection reflects both the romantic idea about nature and how we interact with it, and the more extreme technology, making it possible to increase and speed up natural processes, like indoor, vertical- and sky farming, green rooftops and urban gardening. The clash between wanting to maintain nature pure as it is and the need to interfere with it, is intriguing and terrifying at the same time.

The idea of farming, nature and technology was the inspiration for the development of the collection. Voluminous silhouettes with details of binding layers together and prints and embroidery which remind of flowers, fruit, vegetables, endless fields, and the long human arms in the agriculture. Humor with a slight touch of melancholy and a reminder of the importance of environmental awareness is present.

Join us to celebrate the opening of the Henrik Vibskov Boutique's 'The Miami Visit' pop-up store and Henrik Vibskov's installation in 4510/SIX on December 4 from 6–9pm at 7338 NW Miami Court, in Little River.

For 4510/SIX’s Little River store, Vibskov has designed a custom installation to celebrate the influx of creatives meeting in Miami for Art. Three temporary modules, each with back-painted walls and décor, will interrupt the everyday retail experience. The modules will contain Vibskov’s SS19 and AW18 collections, with the latter inspired by Jan Fabre’s sculpture The Man Who Measures the Clouds (L'homme qui mesure les nuages), which Vibskov encountered last summer during his travels in Kanasawa, Japan. Oversized knits, statement outerwear, and garments interspersed with geometric lines all stem from the poetic gesture of measuring something unmeasurable. As part of Vibskov’s installation, dozens of suspended, identical “brooms” will fill 4510/SIX’s front window.

Come by to grab a drink and enjoy the artwork!

PLEASE ANALYZE VOLUMIZE MOISTURIZE ME

To find sense where there is no sense in a culture where we are obsessed about numbers, we seek to measure, analyze, compare and categorize. If you can number it, you can control it. We want to pause for a moment to question this number mania and to know what is going on around us, how our actions impact others, how the environment is changing and how we are changing. If we want to change what we care about, shouldn’t we change what we measure?

The collection reflects the theme in various ways; prints of little working people trying to analyze their surroundings, oversized ribbing on knitwear that seems like it came from another measuring system, free floating paint strokes that don’t want to fit the grid in the background, prolonged button stands and sleeve slits and weave on suiting that shows measure tapes woven into the that garments. Some of the garments are developed from the starting point where pieces from earlier collection were sewn together in new scales and original measurements were swapped around.
