Henrik Vibskov's Bath Rituals

by Lotus Ladegaard

It was all fashion, drama, theatre and show boiled into one at the Henrik Vibskov AW20 show entitled Please Remove Before Washing.

Henrik Vibskov is the most recognizable name in Danish fashion. He is easily one of the most celebrated and successful Danish Designers of the last decade. Every fashion editor and fashionista attended the much-anticipated show.

Models walked a catwalk decorated with models in bathtubs which made for a very Vibskov show. Ten looks in, a female voice announced it was an emergency and everyone had to leave the premise. Many, thinking it was part of the show, stayed on until the Vibskov team finally made everyone leave. Following a short break outside, he was luckily able to continue his show. It was everything we have come to expect from the Danish designer and more. His AW20 collection was bold and intriguing and certainly a crowd favourite. The AW20 collection offered a little of everything and featured a busy colour palette. As always, he presented a ton of showstoppers that are bound to excite fashion editors around the globe.

Looks like the yellow raincoat layered on top of an olive-green trench coat and curry yellow pants along with a Samurai inspired kimono in print certainly stood out as a fabulous showstopper. The long printed dress with a wrap detail around the waist layered upon trousers in the same print, as well as the oversized bomber jacket in orange styled with a printed dress, printed stockings and a yellow sweater around the waist, were other standouts. Henrik Vibskov delivered a creative and solid AW20 collection that despite the drama made an impact and undoubtedly will be remembered as the most consequential shows of the CPHFW.
