Julien Claessens Captures World of Olivier Theyskens

Ex- Nina Ricci and Rochas designer Olivier Theyskens isn’t resting on his laurels during his current hiatus from the fashion world. The Belgian designer has teamed up with photographer Julien Claessens to release a 186-page coffee table book.

The book entitled “Olivier Theyskens: The Other Side of the Picture,” will be dedicated to images that Claessen captured backstage at Theyskens’ shows for the two houses over a ten year period of time. The tome is being published by Assouline and will be available beginning in January.
