One of the most fascinating Belgian designers, Olivier Theyskens, is the center of this exhibition at MoMu in Antwerpen. The exposition, entitled "She Walks in Beauty" aims to take visitors on a journey following the designer's creative evolution over the past twenty years. Focusing on his craftsmanship and the changing feelings of his work through a multitude of silhouettes imbued with the couture spirit, the exhibition includes his early designs, showcasing his dark, romantic side to the new vision of couture he established at Rochas as well as the launch and relaunch of his own brand.
In addition to showcasing some of his most iconic designs, the exhibition also includes literary works which form a counterpoint to his visual world, photographs, films, and sketches which show his creative process. “I work from a form of beauty. Nothing is more beautiful and pure than a woman who looks good. Besides this a collection should be relevant: logical and beautiful," said Theyskens on his work to FashionUnited.
