A year and something ago when i first heard OLIVIER THEYSKENS will design for THEORY, i felt like the world will collapse. My dark alternative prince to design for company known for office attire?! I mean, kill me know. Was it for money alone? After all he was known to never actually comprehending the commercial part of the business, was that the case? To be part of something that will have commercial success? I was conflicted about his first collection for Theory, at last year’s NYFW. But this one? I’m actually getting on board. Look at those pants?! From Olivier? Now, when i think about him and see his Theory designs, i like to think he’s sitting in his (or Theory’s) studio in Meatpacking, not entirely hating this. Maybe even enjoying it a little.

AND IT HAPPENED. THEYSKENS FOR THEORY

I don’t know what to say. When i first heard OLIVIER THEYSKENS is going to design for THEORY, it was the same to me as reading he will design for LEGO. Theory AND Theyskens? They have to be joking. But they weren’t. And here it is. Theyskens to design pants…..? After what he did? Too soon to form an opinion, it needs time to simmer. He needs time to simmer at Theory. I mean, huge designer like this to design a commercial line? To be priced 20 % of what he usually costs? How bad can that be? And i do like these two. Sheer black top? Baggy silk pants? Long sleeved black sheer dress? The materials whose luxury you can feel just by looking at the picture? I think this could actually work just fine.
