Henrik Vibskov
Danish designer Henrik Vibskov, a graduate of Central Saint Martins, founded his eponymous label in 2001. His line of men’s and women’s clothing and accessories is an electrifying mixture of streetwear and avant-garde fashion: features include bold colour palettes, futuristic graphics and unconventional silhouettes across every collection. His collections are part of their own bizarre universes, and their titles reflect this, from “Big Wet Shiny Boobies” to “The Land of the Black Carrots.” And, while Vibskov sticks to his principle of never giving away clothes to celebrities for commercial reasons, this hasn’t stopped his designs being spotted on the coolest of the musical crop, from M.I.A to Kanye West to the inimitable Bjork. His fashion presentations, too, are renowned for their exuberance and eccentricities. Overall, this is one designer who refuses to be pigeonholed.▼
