PARIS SHOWROOMS| Tabernacle Twins SS14

Royal College of Art graduate Vibe Lundemark’s label delves into a complex narrative of the ‘Tabernacle Twins’ and their adventures.

Each collection reflect a new chapter in the twins journey through digital prints, strong colours, high quality fabrics, bold shapes and graphic knitwear.

Vibe Lundemark’s debut showcase was at Copenhagen Fashion Week SS11. The collection ‘So It Begins’ was just the beginning of a highly creative journey that is captivating and leaves you anticipating the next collection.

Tabernacle Twins is renowned as it holds such a unique concept, which is why it was chosen for Paris Showrooms SS14.

The SS14 collection ‘Cobra Casablanca’, which was recently presented at LFW Freemasons’ Hall, brought complex printed shift dresses, lace jumpsuits, feminine utility style shirts and psychedelic catsuits. It will definitely receive a great reception at PFW.

COLLECTION| Tabernacle Twins SS14

Opening Day four of Fashion Scout we saw the Tabernacle Twins show at Freemasons Hall. Royal College of Art graduate Vibe Lundemark ‘s label is defined by a narrative design approach, which centers around the adventures and journeys of the label’s iconic twin characters – The Tabernacle Twins.

Such journeys, we are told, involve quirky foreign landscapes, fictional creatures and the most surreal of surroundings; and this fantastical wonderland is evident in each design through playful silhouettes, quirky compositions and structured shapes.

The SS14 collection ‘Cobra Casablanca’ encompassed complex printed shift dresses, lace jumpsuits, feminine utility style shirts and psychedelic catsuits. The heavy focus on print was contrasted by the soft pastel hues of peach and lilac. Outerwear was street inspired - quilted and dynamic, making quite the statement. Each look was finished off with a slick of bright coral lipstick, braided hair and a pair of white Dr Martens.

BACKSTAGE| Tabernacle Twins SS14

Fast paced and buzzing, backstage at Tabernacle Twins show was in full swing. Designed by Vibe Lundemark, the womenswear label is known for its strong visuals, bold colours, and statement shapes. The hair and make-up looks were created with this narrative in mind.

It may be getting colder outside but The Body Shop make-up team brought the sunshine backstage with bright orange lips. This vibrant hue is set to make a serious splash for SS14 - fun, fresh and surprisingly wearable. For maximum impact, lips were paired with a basic, neutral eye, minimal mascara and natural brows- allowing the focus to be on the bold lips.

As for the hair, fringes were short, blunt and edgy and the rest was pulled back into tight braids. Strong side partings and high-as-you-dare quiff were also key looks for the show. The essential products used was label.m Volume Mousse as a prepping agent and label.m Hold and Gloss Spray for long lasting frizz-free style.

PARIS PREVIEW| Paris Showroom Designer Tabernacle Twins

Ahead of the opening of the Fashion Scout's Paris Showroom, we're taking a closer look at the designers which have not showcased this seasons designs in London, yet have been selected by Fashion Scout to showcase to a global audience in Paris. 

First on our list, newly joined Fashion Scout label Tabernacle Twins - the Danish brand by designer Vibe Lundemark. The Tabernacle Twins collections explore fictional narratives of said twins through strong, vibrant fabrics, digital prints and contemporary shapes. Danish born Vibe is an RCA graduate yet remains based in Copenhagen. Her fourth collection - A/W13 (above)  - is entitled "Mechanic Chronicle" and has already showcased at Copenhagen Fashion Week to rave reviews.  

We caught up with Vibe ahead of the Paris Showroom showcase: 

What are you most looking forward to in regards our Paris Showroom?

We look forward to be showcasing the new collection among other great upcoming designers in the middle of Marais.

What do you hope you will gain from showcasing your A/W13 line with Fashion Scout?

Hopefully we will get a positive response to the AW13 collection and have a lot of great meetings with both existing and new clients, as well as promoting the label PR wise.

What response have you had to the collection following your showcase at Copenhagen Fashion Week? 

There has been a great response to the show we had in Copenhagen. The prints, knits and colours have been very well commented. The label has a general narrative design approach, which is mainly expressed in the printwork and this core is always well noticed and receives a great critique in the press.

Is there a specific look from the collection that you feel encapsulates your aesthetic?

The look is defined by elegance meeting street elements - joined by colourful prints and knits. Key pieces, which are very significant for the collection, would be a short printed and quilted silk bomber jacket, a slim short jacquard knit dress and the fluid silk dresses... 

What is the importance of showcasing your collection in Paris?

It's very important for the label to be presented in Paris - it's a great way to show the collection to international buyers and also meet them in person.
