Fashion for everyone

Every time I start missing Scandinavia, another little piece of Scandinavia comes to me. Last month I got a sweet treat when Swedish candy shop Sockerbit opened. This weekend, one of my favorite Danish designers, Henrik Vibskov, set up shop in Soho, selling his collection alongside a select group of similar-minded designers, including Stine Goya and Kron Kron. While I originally had naive intentions to shop, the opening attracted quite a crowd, which immediately packed the not-so-large boutique from wall-to-wall, preventing me from getting a good look at the clothes. It was so crowded that plenty of would-be revelers were stranded out on the street, in what one friend described as "hipster mayhem." Luckily I managed to wedge in a small space for myself alongside Zana and Char, right next to the drum set, where we were treated to a performance by the designer himself. While I will have to go back another time to get a proper look at Vibskov's colorful wares, I already have a feeling this is going to become one of my go-to shopping destinations in the city.
