The designer will show his first collection for the French house this July during Haute Couture Fashion Week 

Olivier Theyskens can add another feather to his already well-plumed cap. The Belgian designer has just been announced as the new Artistic Director of Azzaro, and will be responsible for the women&rsquo;s and men&rsquo;s ready-to-wear and accessory lines, as well as the brand&rsquo;s couture collections. He takes over from Maxime Simo&euml;ns, who has helmed Azzaro since its relaunch in 2017, and will present his first collection for the French label during the Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2020 shows in July of this year.

Since its foundation in 1967, the fashion house has stayed true to founding father Loris Azzaro&rsquo;s vision of unapologetic femininity, winning the hearts of It-girls from Sophia Loren and <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/miu-miu-celebrates-6-style-icons-with-new-denim-capsule-collection">Jane Birkin</a> to <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/beauty/bella-hadid-and-beyonce-discover-the-most-beautiful-women-in-the-world-according-to-scien">Scarlett Johansson</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/jewellery/a-rose-by-any-other-name-cara-delevingne-is-the-new-face-of-dior-joaillerie">Cara Delevingne</a> with sensual and slinky silk gowns replete with intricate beading and daring cut-outs.

Armed with a wealth of experience (and a large cult following) thanks to stints at Rochas, Nina Ricci, and Theory, as well as his own self-titled label, Theyskens will bring his distinctive gothic and romantic aesthetic to the fabled workshops of Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honor&eacute;.

&ldquo;Loris Azzaro left behind a considerable, very inspiring legacy. I am excited, thrilled and honoured to have the opportunity of bringing my vision to this legendary, iconoclastic House,&rdquo; Theyskens said of his appointment. &ldquo;I would like to carry on this atypical universe through my collections while infusing them with my own perspective.&rdquo;
