New York Fashion Week S/S 2011: Theyskens' Theory

I have five words to describe the models' looks for Theyskens' Theory: These, are the cool girls! To the greatest of my dismay, Olivier Theyskens had drifted into near obscurity since his departure from Nina Ricci in the Spring of 2009. A little over a year later, he's back on the scene and crafting magic! It may be a different venue (New York), and a lower budget (from the college-tuition-priced Nina Ricci gowns), but Theyskens is still as strong a designer as ever. Olivier proves, that no matter the length of the leave, he can always spring right back into what's relevant and execute his work in an evocative way. From his quasi-goth style, to the hyper-elongated silhouettes, the look this season was classic Theyskens. The collection had a slight 90's tinge; with the exposed lower-midriffs and flared jeans. Yet it was all dramatically stretched to give it a modern edge. The angles were sharp, but the fabrics were not binding. Despite the static images, the garments had movement and looked truly effortless.
I shan't deny that I will deeply miss Olivier's stilted couture dresses, but if he continues to produce his genius; like what's been shown at Theory, I certainly won't be complaining.

Here is the complete collection:
