Henrik Vibskov to Exhibit Graphic Works

Henrik Vibskov’s three-way talents are very well-documented, although his skills as an artist tend to be performance based, and usually involve the designer/artist/musician wearing a day-glo body stocking covered in a crapload of latex fringing. His upcoming exhibit in Berlin next month appears to be all two-dimensional stuff, and from what we can tell from the images currently up on the Pool Gallery site, it looks like Vibskov has been ransacking local kindergartens for copies of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. All we’re saying is, don’t be surprised if Henrik Vibskov’s fall 2010 collection is inspired by rainbow-colored centipides. (Via Highsnobiety)

Color Me Bad: Red

Our wardrobe has always been a mood ring of sorts, and colors come in and out of importance for us depending on any number of things, including weather, relationship status and location. Red Autumn color therapy was the order of the day for fall, which seems more than appropriate, but even now that winter has started and the fall leaves are gone, red has remained a comfort to us. Not sharp reds, but muddier and dustier ones like maroon and cardinal shades. Maybe we’re just trying to remind ourselves of autumn, but a head-to-toe red outfit can be like a shot of B12 in this cold weather, especially in New York City, where everyone else’ll be in all black. You’ll be needing that come January. We’ve gone ahead and compiled a red ensemble for you, and if you can pull it off, you might just make someone’s cold, depressing day a bit brighter.

Stylee Fridays: Agentur V Brings Wood Wood, Henrik Vibskov and More to NYC

Agentur V are based in Berlin so we usually only get the pleasure of riffling through their wares twice a year. Luckily the fashion agency that handles the likes of Henrik Vibskov, Wood Wood and Christian Wijnants have opened a New York outpost in SoHo and Sarah, pictured here in a lovely green Henrik V number, will be heading up the daily runnings downtown. Picking out our fantasy Agentur V shopping list has become a bit of a seasonal ritual for us. After the jump, see all the pieces we’ll be scrimping euros for next spring.

Aloha Rag Offers Practical Results With Their New Line

Aloha Rag is a bright spot of a boutique on the west side of New York with colorful Henrik Vibskov knits and playfully deviant work of Martin Margiela. It’s not a store for fashion lovers who drape themselves in basic black. We love Aloha Rag for their kaleidoscopic medley of styles, colors, and aesthetics. But for their first foray into designing their own clothes, it’s not weirdness and subversion that rule the day.

Reality Studio Designs Clothes For Ancient Igloos

Set in the eastern arctic wilderness about 1000 years ago, Inuit movie Atanarjuat the Fast Runner is said to be a work of icy supernatural wonder. Reality Studio, women’s wear line out of Berlin, based its entire fall collection on the action thriller, and the clothes—huge hooded coats and tons of cozy draped wool over gorgeous wintry prints—are enough to make us update our Netflix queue immediately. In the meantime, we’re working on a fashion legend of our very own, a tale that involves a super-powered canoe and an epic journey across the seas to the Henrik Vibskov store in Copenhagen, where choice pieces from the collection just went on sale.

Slideshow: Henrik Vibskov

For his FADER feature story Henrik Vibskov, gave us full access to his loopy and amazing kingdom. Photographer Guy Martin captured The Solar Donkey Experiment, his spring 2010 runway show in Paris, while Thomas Lekfeldt trailed the Danish designer at the Roskilde music festival in Denmark. Vibskov was the creative director of the dragon formation for Trentemøller’s performance, and you can spot him in his uniform—harem shorts, camo jacket, striped socks and beat-up lil hat—shifting in-between the dancers, on his way to the drum kit.

FEATURE: Henrik Vibskov Interview

Try plotting a straight line through the glorious la-la-land that is Henrik Vibskov’s imagination and you might run in to some obstacles. Regular fashion speak—that clunky system of trend reports and fancy biannual presentations—won’t help much with the navigation, especially since Vibskov doesn’t do fashion in the traditional sense.

Henrik Vibskov & Andreas Emenius Launch The Fringe Projects Book in NYC

Danish designer and subject of a feature in FADER #63, Henrik Vibskov, and artist Andreas Emenius started out The Fringe Projects with just 20 euros, plastering themselves in black and white photocopies for their first installation. Several art exhibits and lots of shredded fabric later and the madcap duo have published a book on their antics one through 10, with everything from fringe-covered racing cars to beer bottles to crazy Cousin It outfits. The official NY book launch kicks off tonight at the LaViolabank Gallery on the LES between 6pm and 9pm. According to the flier posted on Diane Pernet’s site, new pancakes and techno will be served.

Teki Latex’s Big Man Swag

Lookbook.nu is the go-to spot for aspiring Sartorialist muses, where anyone can post daily photos of their style game. We’re pro-democracy, but frankly it’s a clusterfuck—who wants to see what everyone in the world is wearing every single day? One person’s page we never miss though is that of Teki Latex, lead lothario of French electro-rap crew TTC and sonic proprietor of Institubes and Sound Pellegrino. Armed with a mission to “be innovative in this world of Elves dressed like The Strokes,” Teki tends towards ATL-gone-sci-fi, blending Ralph Lauren, Nikes, golf caps and edgier, textured embellishments—the odd Sixpack scarf or knitted socks from Henrik Vibskov. Our current favorite is a look he titles “Major Blazer,” a combo of cardinal blue deck shoes and tailored Lauren blazer flossed with a black silk Roc Star square as a shawl. It’s not stuffy prep so much as “classy in the club,” perfect for transitioning from daytime on Harvard yard to a nighttime rave on a boat.
