Ten Years of Henrik Vibskov







The flip side of the staid, straight-laced Scandinavian ethos is a kind of dizzy, frizzy fantasyland inhabited by the likes of Bjork and Fever Ray. Add to that esteemed list Henrik Vibskov, fashion designer, visual artist, musician, stage designer and all-around great Dane whose runway shows are always a colorful and welcome escape from the confines of other, trend-oriented collections.

And now Henrik Vibskov is the author and editor of a self-titled book from Gestalten ($50), the first compilation of his multifaceted vision. Many of the stories and recollections are written by the designer himself, offering insight into the twisted worlds he's created in the last ten years.
