Famous fashion journalist and critic Jessica Michault interviews Olivier Theyskens on his FW21 Haute Couture presentation and the challenges he had to face to develop it in pandemic times.
I have been following the career of Belgian fashion designer Olivier Theyskens pretty much from the beginning. I have seen him grow from a wunderkind, whose dark goth-like gowns were being worn by the likes of Madonna to the Oscars when he was just 21 years old, into the established and well-respected artist he is today. A designer who has come up with a signature style of dark romantic ensembles that are formed from rigorous attention to construction, precise tailoring, and meticulous fabric choices.
It was back in 2015 that Olivier Theyskens walked away from his designer gig at the American brand Theory. Since then, the Belgian designer fell off the fashion grid and went on a voyage of self-discovery recharging his creative batteries with a trip to the Amazon and a world tour of art fairs with his friends.
