Olivier Theyskens takes us into the forest, the theatre, through his encyclopedias and the salons of Parisian fashion from another era. Photographs of forests and flowers mirror the painstaking artisanal work of 1950s couture dresses and contemporary creations from the house of Dior, in this issue that holds a balance of light and dark, history and modernity, captivity and freedom, and the organic and the manufactured. NºD is an ode to Olivier’ obsessions, romance and appreciation of femininity, filled with vibrant imagery celebrating both the twisted and classical European ideals of beauty. The pages are unified with an animated story that unfolds in the corner, a ‘flipbook’ romance by animator Nicolas Dufranne. View Olivier’s magazine online.
