PRESS: HENRIK VIBSKOV AW13 – THE STIFF NECK CHAMBER

Knowing Henrik's penchant for referencing an assortment of influences, Autumn/ Winter 13 seeks guidance from birds, religion, death, ancient builders carrying the title of “stiff necks“ and rituals aligned with the afterlife.


The styling of each model's individual headdress is completed with stiff wooden frames showing crane-like support. The showpiece shoes are handcrafted with crochet and knit detail, each featuring a section of print that will be made available through Vibskov's collaboration with Dale of Norway, a tradition-rich knit manufacturer from Norway.


The collection itself features, once again, a mix of print, pattern, structures, knit and woven fabric. The clothing is not emblazoned with iconic controversy. It is a more subtle approach in design with the exception of the flamingo print; an obvious and key print that repeats itself on mens shirting, jackets and trousers, and several accessory pieces.


Familiar silhouettes are integral, continuing the Vibskov language that has become signature to his style. Heavy cotton parkas and coats, useful for both men and women, draw on lines from seasons past; trousers echo a familiar hipline pleat, and shirts are detailed by a fusion of fabrics and colours. Mens tailoring is boxier this season with shortened, widened legs.


Outerwear and jersey work towards a sporty aesthetic via casual sweats and quilted vests, and details imitate themselves, building on the outside of pockets and seams. The womens range takes a more feminine turn, featuring delicate plisse in silks and distorted prints. Blouses with pretty girl collars, dresses with circle skirts and wide-legged trousers in soft shapes reinforce the new direction. And yet still, there are elements to winter that are typically 'Vibskov'.

  10. What a fascinating collection! The "Stiff Neck Chamber" title is so evocative — I love how Henrik Vibskov always weaves these deep conceptual narratives into his work. The reference to ancient builders carrying the title of "stiff necks" alongside birds, religion, death, and afterlife rituals creates such a rich thematic tapestry. The crane-like wooden frames on the headdresses are stunning — they transform the models into these almost architectural figures, bridging the human and the constructed.
    The collaboration with Dale of Norway for the crochet and knit showpiece shoes is particularly exciting. That marriage of Vibskov's avant-garde vision with traditional Norwegian craftsmanship feels like a perfect pairing. The flamingo print as the obvious standout against the more subtle design approach is such a smart move — it gives the collection that signature Vibskov moment of playful disruption.
    I love how he continues to evolve familiar silhouettes while keeping that signature language. The boxier mens tailoring with shortened, widened legs feels very current even looking back from 2026, and the feminine turn with delicate plissé and pretty girl collars shows real range. The sporty aesthetic via quilted vests and casual sweats layered with all this conceptual depth is exactly what makes Vibskov so compelling.
    On a practical note: I take a lot of photos of runway shows and fashion exhibitions for my personal style archive, and the HEIC format from my iPhone is always a pain when I'm trying to organize them or share with fellow fashion enthusiasts. I've been using to convert those fashion photos to JPG before archiving. It runs entirely in the browser so my photos never leave my laptop, which I appreciate since they're personal documentation. Batch conversion is a lifesaver when I've got dozens of photos from a fashion week. Just thought I'd pass it along in case anyone else documents their fashion interests!
