LOOKBOOK SS13

the lookbook ss13 can be requested on incircus@incircus.dk

Rene Gurskov is a designer that Amal came across and immediately introduced me to as she knows how much I love men fashion and I enjoy this kind of fashion the most..Rene's fashion is very street with an artistic touch and a unique factor, this makes it easy to tell him apart of other designers today...The fabrics, the cuts and the prints are all factors which can capture any raw fashion lovers, as I was reading about him and doing my homework I realized he was one of the favorite designers in Asia specially in the fashion capitals Hong Kong, Tokyo and Seoul.

Getting to know the designer...

- Please introduce Rene Gurskov and "In Circus" to our readers.

I am a Danish born and Copenhagen based designer - graduated from the school of couture in Copenhagen.Incircus was originally a designgroup started by 2 Danish designers, Lene Villadsen and Jeanne Drasbaek.

As I was reading the about section in your website I realized that it was basically about "In Circus" and how did this store support the young talents in Denmark back in the 90's and how it lunched your brand out to the world... take us back before that..

- Tell us more about how you joined it?

The 2 founders saw a menswear show i did with some friends at a nightclub, they asked me to join the group in the early 90ties when i was still studying. incircus had 25 members and we did some very successful shows and exhibitions - before starting the shop.

- As a young designer getting to display your designs in such a store.. what went through your mind? and when did you show your first collection?

You know - we did not think anything than of course we can do it! the opening show was a huge success and broadcasted live from Copenhagen on MTV - that was in 1992, sales wise it was also a success - it seemed to many peoples surprise that there was a huge audience for our clothes.

by the end of the first year American ELLE put our shop on the list of their favorite shops in Europe.

Its every designers dream to show their art in the Fashion Capital Paris.. when was your first time to show your designs there, and where?

in 1994 i was invited to the linen competition "THE GOLD THREAT" - I came in 3rd and did an exhibition at La Trocadero.

- What was the inspiration for your AW 2012-13 collection?

We did a theme called little monster - it was about the horrible boys that everybody loves. the ones who always look good and gets away with everything - also in dressing

- I must admit that the prints which you choose for your designs are quite unique, do you usually search for your material to match your inspiration? or the other way around?

A few years ago we decided to do our own fabrics. so when we start a new collection we do both silhouettes and graphics. I work with a group of graphic designers in Hong Kong, New York and Copenhagen to ensure a global look.

- Your brand has a very good base in Asia specially Tokyo and Seoul tell us more about that?

it just happened-I showed my second menswear collection in Copenhagen and another Danish designer told his Japanese customer to check out my things - apparently they liked it - they placed a huge order! the fashion circle works like this - when you have success in Tokyo - the rest of the world follows. Today we work with a great agency in Tokyo and they take care of our business over there.

- Who would like to dress in the future?

I hope still to dress the Korean superstar Yung Key from the band SHINee

I also think that Adam Lambert would look great in our things.

- Where do you usually find the inspiration for your brand?

I start up with music (electronic, classical, arabian ) and fashion history.

I also find it inspiring to discuss fashion with colleagues - in Copenhagen, Tokyo and Paris.

- Is the brand available in the middle east? and where?

until last year we were at anma group in Jeddah and Riyad - at the moment they are trying out a new concept for their stores, but i hope to be back there soon.

Its more then just a passion...

- What were the symptoms that made you realize as a kid that Fashion designing is what you want to adopt as profession?

I come from a handicraft family - my mother allways knitting and my farther building something, my sister and I built little houses of carbon-boxes for barbie and action man - and of course clothes too. Later on I started to do 2 annual collections a year by drawing (starting at 9 years) so there was never anything else!

- Who were your role models and muses growing up?

I loved Boy George and Grace Jones - still do...

- Describe your personal style and your brand..

I myself is not a big dresser - I am in jeans and some sweatshirt allways with funny sneaks and a cap. Our brand image is much louder - it is all about expressing yourself.

- Name your most favorite fashion brands..

I like Vivienne Westwood, Comme Des Garcons and Hussein Chalayan

- Name 3 shops you buy from religiously..

Muji in paris, Yoox online and Comme Des Garcons where ever I see one.

- As a designer you must be traveling a lot.. name three must in the bag...

Easy. Margiela jeans, gold sneaks from CDG and a load of Clarins products.

More about you...

- What are your future projects & dreams?

we are considering a women's collection.... and a paris fashion show

- Name 3 fashion items you can't live without?

Jeans - bomber jackets and caps - stuff i have been wearing for 30 years

- A Celebrity male & female you've been eyeing their style?

Joey Ma from Hong Kong is the current king and queen of fashion - nobody in the world dresses like him, I am so lucky that he wears my stuff too. I like that Meryl Streep ignores fashion and never dresses for the red carpet.

Designer. Creative Thinker.

Good food, travelling/experiences in real life (not just virtually), boyhood-manhood

Haven't gotten there yet.

What is most essential to what you do?

I love danger, but I do not sleep – at all.

Best and worse career point:
The best is yet to come! This is going to be a very exciting summer ahead, I can feel it, a summer of growth in both my personal life and in production.

SS12 the line of beauty

"Influential menswear designer Rene Gurskov’s Spring / Summer 2012 collection is a riot of clashing graphic prints and a play on proportion – unsurprising considering that the designer has always favoured the avant-garde.

Born and raised in Copenhagen, Rene began designing and making one-off garments whilst still at school, encouraged by his creative parents. InCircus, a shop and wholesale business soon followed, and although Gurskov now concentrates exclusively on his menswear label, his eclectic aesthetic shows no sign of abating.

For Spring / Summer 2012’s Love Class Sex Money, Gurskov continues to rework tailored and casual classic, taking and reinterpreting an American high school and preppy vibe in a Euro-fashion mix-up that defines modern masculinity.

Baseball jackets with marl jersey sleeves and contrast binding are printed with striking graphic panels. The stylistic elements of varsity jackets appear on a deconstructed tuxedo, complete with monochrome stripes, zip pockets and contrasting lettered appliqué, layered over a black shirt and a striking checkerboard tie. Simple shorts and t-shirts don’t escape the designers attention, the more relaxed shapes emblazoned with the same striking print. A love of daring and exaggerated shapes inspires loose wide-legged, drop crotch styles, cinched in at the ankle, in a celebration of the instantly recognisable Gurskov aesthetic.

Comparisons with Van Beirendonck and Vibskov are inevitable, but Gurskov’s singular vision certainly demands a second look. This is fashion for the brave!"

- Vicki Loomes

PUSH IT magazine

Rene Gurskov is the definitive designer for menswear not only in his European home of Denmark, but also throughout Asia abroad. Rene’s extensive popularity is rooted in designs that capture refined youth. This is perhaps most exemplary in his Spring/Summer 2012 collection with model William. In a minimal color pallet, the most recent collection draws upon engaging prints and exaggerated proportions that are characterisitc of the designer’s distinct style.
With loose fittings and complex jackets, William’s age is illustrated visually as on the threshold between youth and adulthood. It is within this fleeting border that Rene’s designs excel so vehemently. Although his garments capture adolescence, there is also undeniable urbanity to the pieces. It is found in restrained use of color, uncomplicated trims, and inflated proportions.

The Spring/Summer 2012 collection is more collegiate or proper in style than the designer has pursued in the past. It is best demonstrated in the graphically elaborate letterman jackets of the collection. Asymmetric skirts and torn sweaters of former seasons are exchanged for these new polished pieces. They offer a teasing narrative for the model Williamー adopting conventions of adulthood while retaining youthful aesthetics. For Rene, this has always been the designer’s greatest skillー interesting, mature menswear.
