About Josephus Thimister
- Josephus Melchior Thimister (16 September 1962 – 13 November 2019) was a Dutch interior decorator and noted fashion designer who launched his eponymous fashion label, THIMISTER in 1997.
- In 2001, the editor-in-chief of Vogue USA Anna Wintour named Josephus Thimister as one of the Twenty-First Century's best fashion designers.
- In 2010, Cathy Horyn writing for the New York Times described his couture show and its pieces as, "fascinating (…) quite clear in military shapes and broken elegance.
- Dresses like melted down family silver".
- After a brief period with Karl Lagerfeld as an assistant, he worked as a designer at Jean Patou before being appointed director of luxury prêt-à-porter at the house of Balenciaga.
- It was for the next five and a half years that Thimister would spend reviving the brand with his pure, succinctly modernist vision.
- He then set up his own Paris-based house in 1997, and thereafter presented both haute couture and prêt-à-porter collections under his name.
