{"product_id":"olivier-theyskens-isbn-9780847862467","title":"Olivier Theyskens","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe first complete monograph on Olivier Theyskens surveys his twenty-year career and documents the highly anticipated return of his eponymous label.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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 prêt-à-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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cb\u003eKaat Debo\u003c\/b\u003e is director, and \u003cb\u003eKaren Van Godtsenhoven\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eElisa De Wyngaert\u003c\/b\u003e are curators, of Antwerp’s ModeMuseum. \u003ci\u003eVanessa Friedman\u003c\/i\u003e is chief fashion critic of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eLydia Kamitsis\u003c\/i\u003e is a freelance fashion curator and writer. \u003cb\u003eWim Mertens\u003c\/b\u003e is conservator at MoMu. \u003cb\u003eDan Thawley\u003c\/b\u003e is editor in chief of \u003ci\u003eA Magazine Curated by\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Rizzoli Electa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304748601573,"sku":"NP9780847862467","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780847862467.jpg?v=1767734068","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/olivier-theyskens-isbn-9780847862467","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
