This time we are visiting Henrik Vibskov boutique, located in the ancient centre of Copenhagen, Krystalgade 6. Together with their store in New York, they are the only two places in the world where you can preview the unedited Henrik Vibskov's collection. The stores fuse Vibskov's runway pieces and work with upcoming and renown designers and artists, elaborated to broaden our spectrum of fascination and inspiration.
We had a quick talk with Rune, the buyer, who made a selection of the 5 most significant pieces you can get in the store. Here is the selection:
HENRIK VIBSKOV PS KNIT DRESS
An inferno of stripes, unusual textures and prints that blends a palette of dark-end colors with bright prints inspired by 50’s labelling and packaging. Henrik Vibskov PS Knit dress is deployed by Vibskov signature ‘eccentric prints’ that are balanced by simple and feminine shape of the garment. This blend expresses Vibskov’s wild nature yet remains highly wearable for everyday use. PS knit print is also in a variation of unisex cardigan and roundneck, both available in Henrik Vibskov’s stores in Copenhagen and New York, and online HERE
HENRIK VIBSKOV ROPE KNIT LONG
Knitwear has a long tradition in Denmark and for its functionality it became an inseparable part of Henrik Vibskov’s collections. Experimenting with shapes and frisky colours, Vibskov creates fascinating pieces that are far away from the ordinary knitwear. Henrik Vibskov Rope' knit pullover features a ribbed stand up collar, three-quarter length sleeves and a lace up detail that brings the piece to the next level of imagination. Rope design plays a game of geometric shapes laced up on the top of the fabric which creates a surprising 3D effect. For its unisex fit, Rope Knit can be worn as an oversized dress. SHOP HERE
Y-3 STAN SMITH ZIP WHITE
The adidas classic, the cult model Stan Smith, gets a dose of modern Y-3 attitude without moving far away from the original design. The Stan Smith Zip fuses sportswear
functionality with the subtle elegance of Yamamoto’s avantgarde aesthetics. This unisex model is light on feet hence very easy to wear for its slip on style, misleading by dual-zip tongue that reveals embossed Yohji Yamamoto logo when zipped down. SHOP HERE
YOHJI YAMAMOTO PARACHUTE COAT
The Fall/Winter 2016 collection of Yohji Yamamoto is all about layering and supersized silhouettes. The Designer used different fabrics and colours to highlight the individual layers and the very unique shape of the garment. This time he also played with bondage embellishments such as crisscrossing straps placed all over the coat, which reflect Yamamoto's outlandish aesthetic and ensure his position of being a master of the avant-garde style. As the exclusive distributor of Yohji Yamamoto in Denmark, Henrik Vibskov Boutique has a range of mens and womens products available in-store and online HERE
BAO BAO BAG BY ISSEY MIYAKE
Issey Miyake has always been famous for his technology-insoired creations. The Bao Bao bag line offers a wide range of contemporary bags and pouches which create a dramatic new shape made by chance. Roll it, fold it, lay it down and hold it. Everytime you get a different shape formed by what you put in your bag. Inspired by metal panels fused together by steel workers when creating structures, the bags are constructed by placing small triangles on mesh fabric, that gives it movement and the feeling of lightness, so the bag gets the ability to transform itself when bended or folded. The design fits every situation. It is flexible and functional - perfect for busy modern lifestyles. No matter what style you prefer, Henrik Vibskov Boutique has a wide range of different styles, sizes and colour variations, starting at the price 3000 kr. SHOP HERE
