Henrik Vibskov SS22 'The Sun Will Shine On The Assembly Line'

The Sun Will Shine On The Assembly Line Spring / Summer 2022 --------- For the SS22 studio collection Henrik Vibskov is diving into the universe of porcelain. This is where cracks and broken pieces become beautiful, the old coffee set intriguing, where combinations of old and new put together in new structures becomes interesting and echoes elements, textures and surfaces from nature and traditional craftmanship. Porcelain is a ceramic material with a myriad of references clinging to it, as it is an ancient craftmanship developed and refined over decades. The material is both strong and fragile at the same time, having a wide range of use, from decoration, arts, tableware, figurines, technology and industry. The pale white lustrous surface talks to your senses and the smooth surface reminds of skin asking to be touched. The collection is unfolding a distinctive interpretation of the theme. The silhouettes are inspired by shapes of vases and bowls, the prints are dragging lines to systematic machinery and factories, repetitions of tiles, smooth surfaces and porcelain flowers falling apart. Big, quilted coats and skirts are covered with cubic color blocks inspired by the Japanese manual tie-dyeing Shibori technique. The colorful knits are referring to repetitions and combinations of tiles and the custom designed jacquard suit is in a romantic and dynamic print of fragile porcelains flowers. The elegant choice of colors is both subtle and bold; fresh melon, lime green, neon yell
