Henrik Vibskov AW25 at Copenhagen Fashion Week

Henrik Vibskov AW25 / Autumn/Winter 2025 at Copenhagen Fashion Week entitled A bit Overwhelmed by the Opaque Resonance

For Henrik Vibskov AW25 collection, explores the intricate dance between humanity’s desire to dominate nature and the serene, self-preserving forces that govern the natural world.

This contrast – with a specific focus on landscapes – was the main drive for the team this season. With nature as a symbol for re-setting and going back to basics the silhouettes have been created from the principle of taking a fundamental starting point and manipulating the shape using different classic techniques. Styles are inspired by functional outerwear, mountaineering and animals. Jackets with double dusters and Tyrolean feather patches make one think of the lone shepard on the mountain.

Signature textiles with mountain goats, footprints and fishermen stand in contrast to classic houndstooth and checks. One print is a graphic interpretation of footprints acting as a reminder of the traces that humans leave in nature. Colors are generally earthy in tone with contrasting touches of orange and sulfur yellow.

Henrik Vibskov Autumn/Winter 2025, the teams up with long time friend and collaborator Hess Is More (Mikkel Hess) in the Apollonian Circles setting at Theatre Republique in Copenhagen, where Henrik already serves as costume designer as well as musician (drummer). In the spirit of re-setting, the scenography serves as a kind reminder showing the aftermath of human’s decadent party where natural decay and moss is beautifully growing on silverware, statues and rocks. Uniting fashion, concert, installation and performance, the landscape is activated through live dreamy soundscapes performed by Henrik Vibskov and the Hess Is More band. The set is, like the Apollonian Circles art piece, a constantly evolving scenography that is growing and reused over and over again, with many elements borrowed from other theatre productions.

The scenography, including all props, used for this show is part of the existing and ongoing production of Hess Is More’s ‘Apollonian Circles’ currently running at Theatre Republique throughout January.
