Visitors will spot a number of highly publicized and memorable garments, including that yellow silk gown (featuring 500 hand sewn hooks and eyes!) that Madonna wore to the 1998 Academy Awards which put the then new designer "on the fashion map." Videos of his runway shows and photographs also help to tell his story, so far, while an inspiring assortment of the designer's meticulously hand-drawn sketches and illustrations - just another piece of "evidence" - prove his great creative talents.

Each display is catnip for any fashion lover, many of whom have already lost themselves in this enthralling exhibition. In fact, it's difficult to believe that a number of the garments featured are from collections that showed nearly two decades ago… a total testament to the timelessness that is Olivier Theyskens.

One of the walls is painted black and features Lord Byron's poem which, fittingly, Olivier hand-wrote in white script who himself has said that his muse is a woman who "changes through time: she's romantic, mysterious, strong and elegant, both young and old, but she walks in beauty wherever she goes. A heart whose love is innocent!"
