I was educated in London at Central Saint Martins and had this whole thing about getting together with a lot of international students. Twenty-three languages were spoken during our lunch breaks! The school was very open minded, you could do whatever you wanted. Some people loved that freedom, others got lost. Gareth Pugh was a classmate, and so was Peter Jensen.

Humor is a good way in general to get people together, I think. Of course, Danish humor is more ironic and sarcastic altogether.

Inspiration comes from everywhere. Western, Non-Western cultures - I'm open-minded. I love to travel. But not only for inspiration. Alas, timewise, I have a problem with that. Touring, museums, designing, babies.

I love sequencing and programming, and I'm drawn to drum 'n' bass music. I love James Murphy's productions - and hey, he wears my socks!

I think all artists secretly hope their kids might do something safer and straitlaced: maybe my daughter 'll be a banker.

I designed New York boutique myself, the same as I designed the previous retail spaces in Copenhagen and Olso. The inspiration for the interior is similar to those, as well. Of course, I also build sets for my shows and other personal projects, so I think about how to design "space" often. I also do a lot of installations for other companies, have done pop-up projects, so transforming environments the Vibskov way is always a fun challenge.

We make the patterns on the computer, but we also paint them by hand - it's a combination of digital and screen-prints. I'm trying to do as much as I can myself in the studio.
