So far I’ve not written anything about Henrik Vibskov. He is THE media darling (- he and Stine Goya ought to get married, they’d be king and queen of Danish fashion)
Anyway I hadn’t really figured out what I thought about him apart from what I was told; that he’s the most original designer so far, he the ‘enfant terrible’ of Danish fashion and that he’s the one most likely for a huge international breakthrough, voted best designer of the year and so on – basicly enough to he thinsk he’s too much already.
….Naturally all this hype for the oh so cool Vibskov has boosted my sense of criticism (Nerd Girl's attacks tougher when praise has already been given)- There were the über popular scarves which all most everyone at Strøget (or at least in Krystalgade) wore a few yeas back, then there were fringes on every thing (in last season’s show), so he plays drums for electronic hipster Trentemøller – and now he also does children’s clothing. He is the image of Copenhagen I hate – I’m sorry, but it’s too much. Please tell me he’s an environmentalist and a friend of animals, because I wouldn’t be surprised.
And though his SS09 collection might not have been as high standard as usual for DANSK DAILY I thought I was great. That’s right, I’m joining the hype – a little late, but at least now, I get it.This collection, I guess was when I found the time to enjoy the combination of interesting prints and his signature loose cuts. The colours are toned down now compared to what he did before, but I guess that's what I like.
The strong colours and patterns are straight out of Tal R’s artistic universe and the almost pantomime like figures added to the volume of the whole collection. The inspirations seemed to come form Comedia dell art and surealisem.
But I also thought the beautiful dresses and sharp cut suits were really cool
Danish fashion media went nuts when it came out that Carrie in Sex and the City wore clothes by 
Her show today brought forward a lot of beautiful dresses mixed up with loose jump suits. The SS09 collection was in general lighter and softer in shape, than 
There was no film noir or melancholic Nick Cave here, but instead symmetric v-neck details or light colours. – I’m almost tempted to say that the collection had a Scandinavian look to it.
What made the strongest impression on me were the coral (or apricot?) coloured jumpsuit and her detailed dresses.
Otherwise the colours were watery or kind of smoky – leaving a bit of the same damp summer like feeling as Wackerhaus’ collection, but still much more arty. Goya’s hand painted prints add such depth to her style making the clothes much more than edgy silhouettes and delicious fabrics.
Goya has always had some cool settings for her shows. Her last SS collection was shown in the beautiful decorations by 
In this collection it was the rough cut dresses in soft materials and her boyish suits for girls that I especially liked.
Apricot is usually a colour that I’m not too fond of, but I think it goes really well with the grey and black here. 
Mine are brown with lighter laces, and until I checked out the designer online, I didn’t know she makes so many different styles and colours. Now I'm totally hooked on her designs and a bit sad that I didn't get them in green as well.
