[Paris Fashion Week] Henrik Vibskov S/S 2016 : The Hot Spray Escape ~exploration of survival~

For Spring Summer 2016, Henrik Vibskov presents The Hot Spray Escape, a prickly and outlandish exploration of survival in Paris men's fashion week. Inspired from the harsh weather conditions of the dessert and the bizarre evolution of its fauna, ideas of extremes and survival playfully mix together with plastic surgery and bodybuilding. These transformative concepts melt into a steamy and surreal vision of the basic human instinct to stay alive, and our search for spiritual tranquility and physical perfection.



 Curved lines are built into the cuts of key styles in this collection, building shape into trousers and defining a new silhouette. Bold contrasting circles are inserted into oversized bomber jackets and appear as curved color lines on knitwear. Pointed shoulders appear combined with high waisted trousers and shorts are clasically Vibskov in long and wide styles.

The color palate for SS16 feels extraordiarily fresh with different shades of white contrasting with black and white prints. Digital prints on cotton and jersey styles show vast dessert landscapes and dry geological canyons, while embroideries on khadi-cotton looks nod to dreamy post-card ready imagery.
Shirts and long kaftans are layered with kimono jackets and appear in a clashing mix of black
and white block prints.
