New York based Dutch designer Olivier Theyskens has held the reigns at a few amazing labels, Rochas, Nina Ricci and now Theory.
In October 1995, aged 18, Olivier Theyskens began attending the prestigious École Nationale Superieure des Arts Visuels de la Cambre to study fashion design, but dropped out in 1997 to start his own label. His first collections were often referred to as "gothic extravaganzas" and were created from bed sheets that his grandmother gave to him. Today his affectionate nickname is the prince of darkness.
As the artistic director of Theory, Theyskens has really come into his own and his latest collection for Pre-Fall 2012 is full of wearable, functional mostly black on black pieces. Knits, t-shirts, black leather pants and blazers, sheer black leggings, extra wide-leg billowing pants and knee-high combat boots among other things.
