Olivier Theyskens S/S 2022 Paris

[Salvatore]

I believe this gown comes from s/s 2022 collection.

Unbelievably stunning.

Agree...it's stunning. Probably the best naked red carpet gown we've seen in ages...a trend that is so overplayed and tacky at this point...leave it to Olivier, though, to completely elevate and refine that look beyond everyone else.

He's gaining traction and exposure, seems like more and more of these celebs and publications are keeping an eye on him. I'd gatekeep his collections if I could but I'm also happy for him if it helps his brand flourish.

I would love to see his patch gowns in an ed/cover story shot by Tim Walker or Sølve Sundsbø!

It's quite intresing that "Reboot" Theyskens only gained actual traction after switching to this made to order model. It makes me think about the shift towards the desire of more personalised keepsake garments is actual truth instead of sustainability propaganda.

Still, I am a bit baffled that after all these years of working for various brands, he hasn't figured out how to create collections that have a healthy mix of produceable and sellable RTW clothes next to the 'special occasion' pieces he is doing made to order these days - This doesn't have to mean a complete sell-out, but a skill to bring something exciting to separates his customer can wear on a daily basis. In that regard, I found that his last collection for Theory provided solutions that he could have well build upon even in his own brand.

Totally agree with this. I think the true sustainability is to create pieces people actually love enough because they are beautiful and unique that they want to keep forever and wear multiple times even. It’s why I find the idea of haute couture to be more sustainable as it doesn’t put unnecessary pieces that no one ever buys or uses into the world by making it to order. Of course all brands cannot follow this model, but I feel high fashion should steer in this direction instead of into the territory of fast-fashion that it has been going into for a while.

I feel like he's really found his footing with his past 3-4 collections. Perfect balance of art and commerce, if that even makes sense. He doesn't lose his identity and the clothes still have an appeal all while being sustainable. The made-to-order strategy's the cherry on top, IMO. Makes his pieces elusive to get. His talent would be such a waste if he tried to pander to the mass produced socmed influencer fashion scene.

Not even a fan but Karlie looks divine in that dress, BTW.
