Before there was Nicolas Ghesquiere, the head honcho at Balenciaga was Josephus Thimister, who was named by Anna Wintour in 2001 as "one of the 21st best fashion designers". Thimister now realizes his vision, what can only be described as "broken elegance, melted down silver" (Cathy Horyn), through his own label, THIMISTER.
Although not as widely known as Balenciaga, THIMISTER presents uncompromising edgy, luxury fashion that both tells a cohesive story, remains beautiful, and is undeniably fascinating. I hope he achieves greater renown because his collections inject a fresh breath of air to the sometimes too safe other times too comical side of haute couture fashion.
