“Our eyes reflect light. Better that the lips are more like a rose petal.”
- Olivier Theyskens
“I like to be lazy. I do like to be busy and really active, but when that's done, you can be sure I will be a lazy boy. I like to take time and relax and enjoy life. ”
- Olivier Theyskens
“We always see the tip of an iceberg. So, I've always accepted the idea that people - they don't necessarily know everything I am.”
- Olivier Theyskens
“Art is the way people see things, and I think it's great when individuals can find in fashion something they truly believe is artistic.”
- Olivier Theyskens
“A black dress is beautiful! It's a good choice. It could be the wrong choice at certain events or situations, but it's very rare that you see a girl who looks bad in a black dress.”
- Olivier Theyskens
“Personally, I am not so affected by my environment. What I build in the creative process is not necessarily connected to what I am physically in contact with. I am always observing everything, but it will not necessarily have a direct impact on what I do.”
- Olivier Theyskens
“Today, there are more things you can wear for the same occasions. I still like this idea of the perfect suit, and I always love tailoring, but today you can have more things for this type of situation, clothes that have class and that are mixable, and that are super well-cut.”
- Olivier Theyskens
“Personally, I have had sometimes moments where I thought my idea behind the idea of a collection - the concept maybe - something that we don't see at the end on the catwalk, I think the way it was, the genesis in my mind, was probably artistic, an artistic approach.”
- Olivier Theyskens
“With couture, you feel obligated to design something modern each season, but with Theyskens Theory, I don't question anything. I'm thinking of what I'd like to wear.”
- Olivier Theyskens
“I think the relationship is very tenuous between fashion and art. Many designers have built relationships with artists, which is not something I personally did. But it's true, sometimes you see artists working for a designer or a brand on some specific project or taking care of their environment and making an amazing store.”
- Olivier Theyskens
“My sense of designing is a mix of intuition and intellectual control.”
- Olivier Theyskens
“My first collection was made from sheets that my grandmother, who lived in Normandy, had been collecting for a long time. There are a lot of flea markets in that part of France, and she knew what I liked.”
- Olivier Theyskens
