The Belgian designer Olivier Theyskens has left his last post at Nina Ricci to much dismay on the part of the fashion peeps. Anna Wintour is credited as saying 'How could you do this to me' such is her belief in him and the fervent love of his creations that are almost couture-like in their detail and scope. His style is always dramatic and dark. His models moody and otherwordly....
He looks like the typical image of Jesus Christ here doesn't he! Is he fashion's Messiah? Perhaps so, seeing the extent of people's regard for his fashion vision...
He hasn't announced his next move yet, so rumours are rife on where he will pop up next. But in the meantime he has produced his book called The Other Side Of The Picture from which these shots are taken.
From these sneak peeks it seems to be a gorgeous look into his slightly gothic world. With backstage shots galore you can see the work and dedication of his teams to bring his ideas to the runway.
It's one for the coffee table. Out in February.

The shot of Olivier with head bowed looks like a Caravaggio.
