Mr Mickey Goes to Copenhagen: Henrik Vibskov
By Mickey Boardman
It seems that Henrik Vibskov is the fashion star (and Romeo) of Copenhagen. The show was in Christiania, which is the nutty hippy area of Copenhagen -- kids in dread locks and dirty britches selling t-shirts and such -- and the line to get in the show was cuckoo crazy! Vibskov basically invites the entire town; anyone who pays about 10 euros, gives 2 packs of cigarettes or plays a song on the trumpet can come!! Vibskov has garnered a lot of attention internationally having shown in Paris and having his work on sale in stores like Seven in NYC, Colette in Paris and Traffik in Moscow. Vibskov is a sexy hobo type who was previously linked to designer Stine Goya and is now romancing designer Bibi Ghost. The set was very hipster, including Vibskov drumming and his sidekick playing keyboards as a parade of models emerged from a parachute fabric tunnel. The menswear, which we liked best, had a new wave feeling and color palette. The ladies looks had a more sexy and modern vibe. The kids loved it!
