Ever the eccentric, Henrik Vibskov never fails to be amongst the highlights of Copenhagen Fashion Week, underscored by the throng of admirers vying to get in to his shows. This season’s collection, bearing the name “The Transparent Tongue,” was held in the beautiful courtyard of the Danish Art Academy after dark. Notorious for fusing fashion with art, the show was more of an installation-meets-performance-art-piece than a mere catwalk frenzy. An inflatable pink tongue covered in black protruding “taste buds” expanded down the runway to a burgeoning bass-heavy soundtrack, after and in which masked men began to writhe waist-deep as models took their lead around the installation. Draped layers, earth tones, and the signature Vibskov prints were paired with sweaters and skirts with circle cutouts to echo his inspiration, while handcrafted baskets and wooden tongue brushes underscored his twisted, yet captivating influence of the human tongue.

Everyone loves a good girl. Visit the children’s section at any store, and you’ll notice that vast expanses of pink ruffles stretch as far as the eye can see. But sometimes good girls just want to go bad. And when they do, a studded shoe can toughen up even the sweetest wardrobe.
Spikes and studs have long been a staple of the punk subculture. For years, rock and roll boys and girls alike have complemented their black eyeliner with studded collars and spiky wristbands and heavily metallic belts. But even if you prefer bubblegum pop to anarchic thrash, you can still take a walk on the wild side by adding a hint of an edge to your ensemble. Picking one studded accessory can help you toughen up your look without committing fashion overkill. Studded shoes happen to be incredibly on-trend right now, so you’ll have a plethora of options as you begin to fully express your inner bad girl.

Sometimes a little extra TLC is in order to get the perfect pout. We’ve all experienced chapped, dry, peeling lips, and it’s certainly no walk in the park, making drinking, eating, and even smiling uncomfortable. Follow the path to lip repair while also taking preventive measures to help curtail the signs of aging with the Dermalogica Age Smart Renewal Lip Complex, $26. Formulated without artificial fragrances and colors, the ingredients are a blend of avocado oil and Shea and cocoa seed butters with a patented polypeptide to help restore tissue and minimize contour lines.
I gave the Renewal Lip Complex a whirl in a moment of dire lip need, and it felt just as soothing, healing, and overall incredible as my favorite Italian Frantoio olive oil lip salve. Plus, you won’t overdo it with this product, as just a tiny amount dispenses from the lipstick-shaped applicator. It’s sleek shape and soft metallic hue adds high design to an already exceptional product- thumbs up Dermalogica!
