For Spring/Summer 2021, Danish designer Henrik Vibskov is showcasing a collection that speaks volumes of his keenness to explore themes around creativity without limits, always trying to adapt a design approach for a fashion collection versus an installation or exhibition.

| Henrik Vibskov is most commonly associated not only with a fashion label, but a multitude of twisted yet tantalising universes created in relation to each collection. |
Currently a professor at DSKD and frequently gives lectures in art institutions all over the world, such as Central Saint Martins in London (where he graduated in 2001), the IED in Madrid and the Antwerp Royal Academy of Fine Arts amongst others, Henrik Vibskov's fashion show at this Copenhagen Fashion Week showcases men's and women's ensembles that explore proportions and layering to great effect. Set in a garden scene with a dramatic life-size backdrop of “performers”, this approach is not surprising as apart from designing for his own namesake collections, he has also designed costumes for numerous operas and performances, including collaborations with Hotel Pro Forma, the Oslo Opera House, The Swedish national ballet and the Brussels Opera House.
He has participated and exhibited in a number of international design fairs, festivals and museums, including the PS1 - MoMA in New York, the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, The 21st Century Museum of contemporary Art, Kanazawa, and the ICA in London.
Upcoming events will include a solo exhibition at Sophienholm Denmark opening on 5th September 2020.
In 2021, he will have an installation opening on 8th April in Tripostal, Lille, France, and a solo exhibition in the Lillehammer Art Museum in Norway opening on 5th October.
