Description

Olivier Theyskens s refined sensibilities earned him international acclaim as the dark prince of late 1990s couture.

From his first saturnine collections, to his new vision for Rochas, to his patterns and textiles at Nina Ricci, to his years designing for Theyskens Theory, the designer has proved himself a master of couture, semi-couture, and pret-a-porter.

Celebrated for his fine tailoring, romantic silhouettes, and gothic palette, Theyskens transforms each house he helms.

This distinctive volume charts the twenty-year development of an extraordinary aesthetic vision, rendered across countries, cultures, and the shifting sands of the fashion landscape. Newly commissioned texts connect the threads of the Belgian-born artist s diverse practice.

Drawings created for the publication accompany photography from each period of his career.

At both Rochas and Nina Ricci, the designer crafted ethereal garments with unorthodox silhouettes, mixing sheer fabrics and old-world bustles with subtly subversive punk elements.

Theyskens then broke ground in 2011 with his trailblazing partnership, Theyskens Theory.

With a special focus on the designer s return to the runway at the head of his own line, this is the definitive work on a fashion visionary who, like the girls he designs for, changes form, but walks in beauty wherever he goes.
