Henrik Vibskov staged his Slippery Spiral Situation show in Paris yesterday, a fashion presentation better known as fall 2010. Judging from initial pictures of the collection, the clothes aren’t so much slippery as they are mesmerizing, and all the models marched out wearing weirdly hypnotic wire-frame specs and alienoid swimming caps. Clearly, Vibskov sourced out the burliest most bearded dudes in town for the show, just to prove that even mountain men can wear skirts (or at least go pantless), so highland kilts and traditional trenches were paired with woolly knee socks and hiking boots.

Yeah He is from F******* Denmark… That guy is sick… U guys can expect much more upcoming crazy ass from him this yeah……
I don’t know where are you from but for sure you must be stuck in a very narrow minded society. I never would call somebody like you did, because you don’t know who will read it.
Maybe the choices are not perfect but there is finally somebody who goes with creativity and innovation forward. Greatfully there is a change out off the super-boring pants-stereotyped dressing order, and I hope that that this new men’s fashion will catch on. I heard some really positive reactions from USA.
IMO skirted garment is very good idea. Skirts are comfortable and healthy. Also it’s nothing new, models look like an Ancient Asian or Greek people. Men’s skirts are still popular in many cultures (e.g. Scottland, India, SE Asia, Eastern Africa) and it’s time to break that stupid stereotype jailing us in trousers.
His styles are in contrast to that of Mark Jacobs. Mr Jacobs is more pencil style skirts or similar to the utilikilts offered in Seattle. His white skirt with pleats looks looser and flowing, the model appears to be more comfortable in it as opposed to Mr. Jacobs. Mr Jacobs models were stiff at best and appeared to be totally uninterested, straight taught faces and rigid.
I like a-line skirts and prefer them over pencil skirts. I also like the skorts being offered by some designers, although a little short for the average male. I think 2 or 3 inches above the knee is appropriate, not the 6 to 8 inches that were portrayed. I have worn skirts for a good portion of my life.
I don’t try to look like a female, no make up, no eyeliner or shadow and no lipstick. The only thing that goes on my lips is Chapstick moisturizer during winter here in Northern Ohio. Maybe this designer can get with Mr. Jacobs and form a collaboration as to what men like in a skirted garment.
This guy which posted the first comment did not know what he’s saying, because all what was written did not make any sense.
Americans are more open minded, yes I know there are ome areas where people don’t know that are some more continents and countries around, but that’s rare. For sure, since past 60 years we’re looking always what Europeans are doing in case of fashion. I mean, real fashion and not trend fashion turning around baseball cap 60-180 degress and call that super-cool or wearing a pair of pants with low crotch and looking like a waddling bear.
And we all can see that the old gender-bender fashion is dead – really because gender roles are wiped off in most of westernized societies. And also we can see and read that there is a demand for men going out of fashion dictation.
I agree with Robert, when I wear skirts I don’t want to look like a female, just like me – skirted, and I do enjoy the comfort of unbifurcated garment.
Jeppe, that man from Denmark is not sick — it is YOU who are sick!!! You are just as retarded as the men of the mid – twentieth century who campaigned against WOMEN wearing PANTS!!! You need psychiatric help, because you do not know what makes a person “sick”!!!
Ummm, guys, Jeppe meant sick as in good.
Oh, sorry Jeppe. My mistake.
At work there’s a fellow who usually wears a Utilikilt, he seems to have 3 or 4 colors, including black, last night it was a medium light blue. Several people have remarked when I asked opinion, he’s “sick,” he’s “weird.” It’s what the mind is used to. There’s a mass hypnosis principle at work. That’s why the robed and skirted Romans exiled men in pants in 393AD, 15 years after Rome’s terrible defeat at the battle of Adrianople where they lost to horse mounted opponents (wearing the horseback garment, PANTS). So in Rome pants were regarded subversive and barbarian (also by the Greeks.) Skirts and pants as sex differences is childish associative reasoning. In fact, they are activity differences or style differences only. The Utilikilt wearer does insist if asked “it’s not a skirt, it’s a kilt” to which I say, equates to him insisting, he doesn’t drive a motor vehicle, he drives a Ford Mustang. Being a specific subcategory of a master category does not isolate it from being under the master category. Yes of course no kilt ever existed, does not exist now, or will ever exist, that is not in the master category of “skirt.” It’s provocatively dishonest to deny it, but they are supersensitive about the word “skirt” when there is no need to be. How will skirts ever be desexed from associative reasoning, if we don’t embrace the word as being merely “human?”
