Why Olivier Theyskens is Designing for Theory
If it’s hard for you to imagine Olivier Theyskens–he of the Victorian goth gown–designing for Theory, you’re not the only one.
But whether or not we get it, the former Rochas and Nina Ricci designer will be creating a capsule collection for the contemporary work wear brand, at least according to WWD.
