Denmark label Bibi Chemnitz was founded in 2006. Behind the label are Greenland native Bibi Chemnitz and David Røgilds. What started out as a collection of hoodies has expanded into a diverse growing range of clothing. Influential to the Bibi Chemnitz label is Chemnitz’s Nordic heritage. As Røgilds explained, “Inspiration for the AW09 collection is the raw Nordic forest and the animals. We have also tried to give the styles the names of animals that [best] represent the style in shape, color or way of behaving.” Perhaps, it is the survivalist instinct of animals that gives birth to the subtle use of quilting as a wearable shell. Lending the collection character, the quilting stands out in a minimal yet aesthetically pleasing fashion. This upcoming August, Bibi Chemnitz will be stocked at ASOS.
