For fall 2022, Theyskens continues the idea, now adding strips and squares of lace and knitting to his process. Long and irregularly patched, the dresses cling to and swirl around the body in a haze of black streaked with reds, pinks, violet, bronze-brown, and ivory. A predominantly white dress had bleeding bits of blue and deep red. The all-black dresses, including one with a knitted cape framing the front, looked intense.

It’s similar to what Fortuny was doing,” Theysken said, referring to Mariano Fortuny, who at the turn of the past century developed a method of hand-pleating silk and then heating it to hold its shape. Fortuny also experimented with dyes. Of his own process, Theyskens said, “It’s very simple. It’s heat and pressure. It’s a lot of natural fabrics, so chemically they react.
This time, he added two pantsuits, in black and charcoal houndstooth — “because I love the allure of a tailleur,” as he put it — and a knitwear catsuit in solid black that affected the look of patchwork by dropping stitches and incorporating tiny beads in places. Theyskens, who has worked for Rochas and Nina Ricci and is now creative director at Azzaro, says he received private orders for his last collection. And, unlike a decade ago, he also hears from design students who are passionate about doing hands-on, small-batch fashion. “I find this moment very special,” he told me. “Also, I want to take time. I don’t want to rush.”
