Copenhagen Fashion Week: Backstage at Stine Goya

Stine Goya presented a Western-themed collection last night at Copenhagen Fashion Week, inspired by the American landscape photographer Ansel Adams. Goya's reputation in Copenhagen precedes her, and she has quickly become one of the country's most well-known designers since her first collection in 2007. While her prints and colours schemes are always interesting, the actual cut of the clothes seemed just a variation of what's already expected from Goya. Which of course, is not the worst thing.

At Kaviar Gauche

At Vladimir Karaleev

Vladimir Karaleev presented marvelous eye candy on our last day of fashion week showing his new collection - long time followers will know that I've been knowing, loving and supporting Vladimir's work for a long time - still he's been able to suprise me and most of the audience with this complex and intelligent collection that takes his art of the bare seam one step further. For the first time he presented a shoe collection which will soon also be available online. Please watch the video for a full enjoyment of Vladi's grunge girls for fall winter 2011/12.

At Michael Sontag

We loved Michael Sontag's presentation during Berlin Fashion Week - his colors felt unusual and the shapes look so elegant and cozy at the same time - he's definitely one to watch - click here to see the video:

Kaviar Gauche Summer 2011

Copenhagen Fashion Week: Backstage at Henrik Vibskov

I know that there is a tendency for bloggers to be over-enthusiastic about everything they see, but anyone who knows me can say that I'm normally the last person to gush. Henrik Vibskov presented his latest collection, entitled "The Slippery Spiral Situation," and was definitely Vibskov at the best I've ever seen him. His shows are always the highlight of Copenhagen Fashion week, which I think is mostly attributed to his exhibition of not just a line of clothing, but an entire world, non-sensical as it may be. White-painted fingers, strange mirrored spectacles, wooden monastic hats, and a Twin Peaks inspired live soundtrack (with the designer himself playing the drums) all created an otherworldly atmosphere, which Vibskov himself probably couldn't fully comprehend. But what set the show apart from the rest was the craftsmanship of Vibskov's tailoring. As usual, his men's collection was stronger than the women's, but the cut and movement of both collections showed a maturity that was missing in past collections, while still keeping the magic of his quirky worldview intact.
