Theyskens' Theory is known for cool, downtown looks, and the Fall 2012 collection is rather inspired: by Grandma! Effortless hair floated down the runway thanks to a neat hair trick, and the makeup palette included warm bronze shades, taken from someone Granny might look at for beauty inspiration: the late Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli. On Annie: BCBG; hair by TRESemmé.

Theyskens' Theory Spring 2012

Noria Morales — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 17:12:20 PDT

When you see Theyskens' Theory collection, you are reminded of the extraordinary fact that this is one of high fashion’s most romantic, deeply talented designers creating clothes for a contemporary American sportswear brand, which has become known for their well-fitting pants. It’s a most unlikely (and brilliant) collaboration. Olivier Theyskens plays that note between edgy and feminine like a virtuoso violinist - there’s a delicacy to even the most basic pieces that makes us sigh. For Spring 2012, there was a standard outfit: a pair of slouchy skinny pants worn over the sky-highest heels ever, with a metallic top and an exquisitely tailored tweed jacket that bore all the markings of a world-class designer. “Basic sweaters” had cutaway backs and crochet details, and were often woven through with metallic threading. One incredible green beaded jacket, as ornate as anything to be found in designer or even couture collections, shiny pants that looked like they had been cut from rainbow-hued cellophane, and a glowing white shift were made for the cool disco set. He finished with delicate organza gowns, one black and one oyster-hued, with a cutaway back and a slightly transparent quality. In short, it was dreamy.

Trends: Tailored jackets, metallics, crochet, downtown chic.
Colors: Silver, chrome, metallic green, white, gray, navy.
Key Piece: Tailored tweed blazers that look even better from the back, metallic "cellophane" pants, a beaded green jacket.
Accessories: Sleek bags, including a large square, flat portfolio bag, insanely high platform stilettos, and motorcycle boots.
Who Would Wear It: Sleek, downtown girls.

Theyskens' Theory Runway at New York Fashion Week Fall 2011

FabTV — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 22:22:22 PST

Olivier Theyskens's capsule collection for Theory went somewhat against the grain - not at all a bad thing. While there were deliciously flared mustard corduroys, wide-leg palazzo pants, and the occasional supersexy maxidress, the majority of the collection focused on mini hemlines contrasted by must-have floor-length coats. The moody palette ranged from icy blues to stirring slate grays with dashes of deep wines and a pair of eye-catching red trouser pants. We have a feeling the cozy knits and impeccable outerwear pieces will fly off the racks come fall, but until then catch our entire coverage here!

Olivier Theyskens Takes On Theory After All!

Melody Nazarian — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 11:30:02 PDT

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.

Ch-ch-ch-changes of Fashion in '09

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 06:50:22 PST

2009 saw major changes - some rather shocking - in the most renowned fashion houses. The one that stung most was the demise of Christian Lacroix. The economic downturn spawned the downfall of one of fashion's most grand couture houses. Lacroix was forced to shut down, only to be reduced to a licensing operation. Check out the heartfelt love fashion fans gave him at the closing of his final show. Luella Bartley, Maison Martin Margiela, Olivier Theyskens, and others also experienced some unwelcome changes this year. But there was also light for some. Learn about the year's biggest fashion changes . . .

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. I'm so looking forward to getting to know Olivier beyond the runway.
