Fab Read: Olivier Theyskens, The Other Side of the Picture
Olivier Theyskens may no longer be at Nina Ricci — major bummer — but that doesn't mean he's idle. The designer is penning a book — Olivier Theyskens: The Other Side of the Picture — to be published by Assouline. Come January, you will be able to experience the Belgian designer via decades worth of backstage photos documented by photographer Julien Claessens.

Fab Flash: Halston Wants Olivier Theyskens
UPDATE: Halston reps have shot down rumors of Oliver Theyskens taking over as its next creative director. "Olivier will never, ever happen," said a source. "It's no secret that [the brand] is struggling - they need a designer who can sell lots and lots of clothes, not just get great press."
2009 Fall Paris Fashion Week: Nina Ricci
It's a shame, really. We were all pretty bummed when we heard the news of Olivier Theyskens leaving the house of Nina Ricci. So what if his creations weren't commercial?
Celebrity Style: Renee Zellweger
Last night, Renee Zellweger showed her support for ex-Nina Ricci design head Olivier Theyskens and shined in a ravishing red Nina Ricci dress and suede Louboutin pumps. Her sizzling hot look is nothing short of perfection; I like how she added extra dazzle by wearing a bright red cocktail ring. It's simultaneously sultry and sophisticated.
Fab Flash: Theyskens Out, Copping in at Nina Ricci

Fab Flash: Nina Ricci Delves Into Accessories
“When the economy changes, it’s not like you want to start eating bad-tasting chocolate,” said Nina Ricci, creative director at Olivier Theyskens. “You have to stay true to what you’re doing, and the house of Nina is about luxury.” That said, Theyskens continues to plunge forward with an expanded accessories collection, which includes a newly unveiled handbag collection and expanded footwear collection.
The handbag collection, ranging from $1,800 to $2,500, consists of hobos, shoulder bags, totes, and clutches made in luxurious leathers and textures, like the ones seen above.
Fab Ad: Nina Ricci Fall '08
Natasha Poly must be the object of envy from her model friends, because she's the new star of Nina Ricci's Fall '08 ad campaign. It looks like Spring's girls Karlie Kloss and Courtney Smerski couldn't hold their own for another season. Like in past Nina Ricci ads, these shots are slightly brooding and heavy, but it's the right look for autumn.
Fab Ad: Nina Ricci Spring/Summer '08
Nina Ricci's Spring/Summer '08 ad campaign can easily be mistaken for Fall/Winter ads. The dark hues and layered clothes hardly scream Spring. Clearly that's what Olivier Theyskens was going for so he chose the ideal models — Karlie Kloss and Courtney Smerski — to convey the brooding mood.
Ellen Pompeo Is Fab's #1 (Today)
Everyone's opinions are always welcome on Fab. I think we can all agree that last night's SAG awards brought out a bevy of beautiful dresses. Whether they were intended for the Golden Globes or not, I say it's always better to overdress than underdress — especially when a red carpet is involved.
