Joesphys Thimister Returns from a decade of absence
"Bloodshed and militaria—two themes woven together from convulsive Russian history and the current moment—propelled Josephus Thimister back onto the couture runway after a decade's absence. The imagery centered on a photograph of Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich, Emperor Nicholas II's murdered 13-year-old son, who was routinely dressed in uniform as a boy, and it played out in a collection of men's and womenswear merging poignant romanticism with a raw-edged minimalism last practiced in the nineties.
Thimister said he'd used resonances from World War I because "what happened then was the start of modernism: war, sorrow, destruction we're still dealing with now. And the lack of creativity and spirituality." It didn't make for couture in the fine old tradition—tank tops and jodhpurs roughly spattered with spray-painted gore don't routinely feature in haute collections, and neither does menswear—but Thimister's thought process cut across the current fashion agenda in a personal way. Using rough khaki and startling red, he sent out greatcoats, officer's jackets and jumpsuits, and dresses cut from duchesse satin and georgette detailed with narrow, trailing cross-body military sashes. For a woman tempted to look outside the normal remit of Paris couture, there could be something here worth investigating—the army coat with a red fur lining, say, or the cowl-hooded textured sequin dresses that turn to reveal erotically bared backs."-
