Lorsque l'on pense à la mode, une des premières images qui nous vient inexorablement en tête est celle de la figure du « Grand Couturier » . Tel un Clarence fou de génie dans le film Falbala, ou un Yves Saint Laurent solidement amarré à son Stockman et ses aiguilles, ou encore un Karl Lagerfeld au trait infatigable : on imagine toutes sortes de réalités qui façonnent un fantasme.Mais aujourd'hui, à l'époque de la valse des Directeurs Artistiques qui sont remerciés bien rapidement, qu'en est-il de cette figure d'autorité qui a marqué nos imaginaires ? Quelle est la réalité du métier de ceux et celles qui créent les designs tant admirés sur les podiums ?C'est ce que nous allons voir avec le couturier et designer Olivier Theyskens, un homme à la créativité singulière, hors système dans le fond comme dans la forme. Après avoir officié chez Rochas puis Nina Ricci ainsi que la marque Theory à New York, Olivier Theyskens se consacre à sa propre maison, qui a vu le jour en 1998. Amour de la coupe, de la matière mais également conscience du business sont les axes du créateur. Et aujourd'hui pour Décousu, il revient sur son parcours, sa démarche créative, son rapport au milieu et à la mode en général, ainsi que ses doutes et les questionnements qui ont parsemé son travail. Alors sans plus tarder, bon épisode à tous!(retrouvez le podcast sur instagram @decousupodcast)

In this week's FASHIONmode show, Charles Daniel McDonald continues his critique as the fashion calendar continues to travel. This time, he stops off at Paris to investigate its offerings for the Autumn / Winter 2021-2022 ready to wear collections. He also takes a look at the 'Prince Of Gothic Fashion', Olivier Theyskens second collaborative publication - ‘In Praesentia'.
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. Olivier has never been one to bend to the ebb and flow of fashion. Instead, his work stands like beautiful sartorial rocks, which the world of fashion crashes up against but never erodes away. His singular vision could be felt in each professional chapter of his career. During his years as the artistic director at Rochas, he single-handedly came up with intriguing new silhouettes for the house. Shapes that instantly put the brand back on the fashion map and garnered him the title of Best International Designer by the CFDA in 2006. Then as the artistic director of Nina Ricci, he developed even further his feminine yet sensual aesthetic creating sculptural dresses and statement suiting. Next up was a stint in America where the designer’s couture talents were put to great use in the world of contemporary fashion as Olivier teamed up with the brand Theory to become its artistic director. Elevating the label’s global profile and also injecting its offering with sartorial sophistication. But the call of his inner voice to relaunch his own label eventually became too strong for Olivier to ignore any longer, and in 2016 he returned to Paris to relaunch his fashion house. Over the past four years, Olivier has methodically and systematically grown his company. Taking his time to be strategic about his choices and focusing on once again giving voice to his unique and uncompromising vision. A vision that is so singular that he is one of the youngest designers in the industry to have already had not one- but two- retrospectives of his work put on display. With all of the groundwork laid out for his own brand’s success, this past February Olivier also took on the role of artistic director at Azzaro. A fashion house with over 50 years of archives for the designer to wade through before presenting his first collection of couture and ready-to-wear pieces during the Paris haute couture presentations in June. I spoke with Olivier via Zoom video about his impressive career, how he will balance the workload between the two brands he now oversees, and how he plans on presenting his debut work for Azzaro now that the haute couture shows had been canceled in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. What is clear is that this is one designer who is looking to the future with a cool head and an open heart.

In our first episode, Laia Garcia, a writer and editor at “No Man’s Land,” joins us to discuss Madonna’s Ray of Light period in the late ’90s. From her Olivier Theyskens cloak in the video “Frozen” to her influence on designer blue jeans, we discuss Madonna’s transformation from a nouveau-Monroe in a cone bra to a yoga-loving new mother who practiced Kabbalah in a tank top.
Mode : l’école belge : ses origines, son histoire, ses caractéristiques fondamentales. Souvent qualifiée d'"antifashion" ("sombre, violente, conceptuelle"...) la mode belge occupe une place de premier plan dans l'écosystème de la mode à l'échelle mondiale. Bien avant les Six d'Anvers (parmi lesquels Ann Demeulemeester, Dries Van Noten...), la Belgique a été un territoire de mode singulier, moins "classique" que le territoire français, et ouvert à de multiples influences venues du monde entier, comme on peut le voir dès le XVe siècle et les tableaux de Jan van Eyck. De Norine, maison de couture belge très importante (créée en 1915) à Raf Simons et Kris Van Assche, de Margiela à Olivier Theyskens en passant par Ann Salens, la Belgique est et a toujours été un grand pays de mode. Par Antoine Guitou, jeune styliste diplômé de La Cambre (Bruxelles) et de l'Ecole du Louvre.
