THE SLIPPERY SPIRAL SITUATION
Danish designer, artist and music maker Henrik Vibskov always puts on a good show. Before getting to see for myself, I had heard from somebody that the production was a little more reserved then usual this season. That guy was either plain nuts or pulling my leg, as the Slippery Spiral Situation does not disappoint. The catwalk ran around a suspended sculpture of wood and metal Topsy Turvy land.
The clothes were straight up Vibskov designs delivered via the Highlands; mismatched prints, over sized jackets, shirting, parkas and a skirt thrown in for good measure. The styling of antique reading glasses fitted with oblong mirrors, wooden skeletal headpieces, satchels, backpacks and seriously sore fingers made the models into some kind of retro future scavengers. The future may not be bright, but it sure looks bonkers.
