Fall 2011 New York Fashion Week: Theyskens' Theory

When you consider Olivier Theyskens ignited a thousand couture fantasies at Nina Ricci and Rochas, it's almost shocking to see so many pants, jeans, and — gulp — shorts in Theyskens' Theory. Clearly, Olivier is taking the everyday wearability of Theory to heart and trying to infuse it with touches of his own more romantic couture sensibilities. Those efforts resulted in looks that seemed tailored for women like Kate Moss or Alexa Chung. Denim shorts were layered over tights and worn with a long gray coat and pumps. In a '90s grunge reference, plaid shirts were worn open, either underneath blazers or over a slouchy tank and jeans. The collection shone most when Olivier went back — mostly — to his couture roots, showing a long jacquard skirt with a fur capelet, a belted leather jacket, duster coats, and a black lace dress. How many days until this hits stores?

  • Trends: '90s grunge, menswear, trousers, longer hemlines, minimalism, sheerness.
  • Colors: Black, white, red, light blue.
  • Key Looks: The fur capelet and jacquard skirt, the long duster coats.
  • Accessories: Wedge mary janes, velvet pumps.
  • Who Would Wear It: Sexy romantics, fashion-forward girls who love couture concepts at a lower price point.

Back in May, former Nina Ricci creative director Olivier Theyskens partnered with Theory to create a capsule collection, which then debuted in September. The collaboration clearly worked because now the relationship has been taken a step further with Olivier being named artistic director. We have to wait until next Fall to see Olivier's design influence, but in the meantime, let's behold Theory's latest impeccably styled Fall lookbook.

>> Next week, Olivier Theyskens will unveil his capsule collection for Theory — a pairing that was to many a surprise, given Theyskens's strength in designing red carpet gowns, but the designer told Vogue.com: “I love doing every type of clothes. I was thinking for a long time about starting a collection in another sector, something that corresponded in my mind to a Theory product. I don’t see it as such a transformation. It felt like a logical process, a result of a natural way of designing. Everything I start doing I feel personally, very me.”

Vogue.com previewed the collection — a few more images here — and from the descriptions, expect a lot of black: there's a black leather biker jacket, washed black denim trousers, black shiny flat booties, a black tailored wool jacket, and "a gray shawl-collared jacket of stretch linen and viscose cut so that it curves forward on the body."
