Thimister Autumn Couture 2010
A slightly lazy day at this afternoon as I can feel some dreaded lurgy mounting and my temperature mounting, so as a reward for a good meeting this morning I deicded to flcik through the Haute Couture shows. Safe for work design porn if you will. I’ll come back to the utter genius of Galliano, and the Dior Couture collection later. But it was Thimister (who much to my shame I’ve never even heard of, but now understand he comes from the same Belgian school of thought as Demeulemeester & Margiela), that totally took my breath away.
I’m biased yes because he has produced menswear, (totally unheard for Haute Couture), but the whole collection grabbed the Military trend and exploded it. Drawing his inspiration from the Tsarvevich Alexei, the murdered son of Nicholas II, he created a modern military collection in white, red and khaki. On paper it sounds dull, but it was exquisite to look at and the menswear was just sensational. Excuse as I mortgage my soul to get a few of the pieces. (Though the hunter boots might be the only thing I’ll actually be able to afford).
