Olivier Theyskens: She Walks in Beauty

Description

Like Ann Demeulemeester or Martin Margiela, this Belgian designer has cult status in the fashion world. This book will be his first in nearly a decade, and accompany a retrospective of his work to date, sure to pique the interest of those that have followed Theyskens since his emergence in the late 90s. The first comprehensive monograph on Olivier Theyskens, curated by the designer himself, surveys his twenty-year career and documents the highly anticipated return of his eponymous label.
