From Copenhagen Fashion Week Spring 2013: Vibskov

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.

Want to play with these expressive shapes seen all over the Fall/Winter 2012 runways? Let us help you get the look with options that we’re simply mesmerized with. Warning: this post may give the illusion of  looking through a 1960s psychedelic kaleidoscope.

Miu Miu’s Glitter Loafers Have Arrived…Whip Out Your Plastic!

by

[Miu Miu Glitter Loafers,available in Blue or Pyrite,  $495]

Summer’s wedges and sandals have been rather kind to our feet, but there’s nothing like the boy-meets-girl loafer, come fall 2012. Need a little more glitz? Look no further than Miu Miu‘s glittered footwear options, which will certainly spice up the boy meets girl aesthetic of the traditional loafer style! Complete with a trendy tassel, these shoes are the modern (but no less magical) version of Dorothy’s red heels. Below are some additional favorites from Prada’s little sister brand, Miu Miu:

[Glitter Sneaker, $495, via NeimanMarcus.com]

Miu Miu is not a rookie in the glitter scene. The brand has been known to deck out sandals, heels, boots, and even sneakers. Each pair, pictured above, has its own avant-garde imagination fit for a shoe queen. The loafers, I believe, are a bit more toned down, if sparkle can ever be described as toned down, that is.

Not a glitter girl? Why not try the divine patent or python printed skin iterations? It’s nearly impossible not to have these on your wish list, lust list, can’t-breathe-until-these-are-in-my-closet list, and whatever other list you have. Available now at Miu Miu!
