Designer Profile: Theyskens’ Theory

In 2010 when Oliver Theyskens joined forces with Andrew Rosen (founder and CEO of Theory) they created a fashion darling known as Theyskens’ Theory. The line is clever; a perfect balance of edge with the classic Theory fit and feel. Theyskens gave the brand a cool vibe to appeal to a more contemporary woman, a younger woman, and/or the woman just looking for some stylish new pieces. Pre Theyskens, Theory had fallen into that category of great work basics. Your perfect fitting black pants, button downs, and shift dresses. Now Theyskens has really created a line for the  woman who still goes to the office but wants to her professional look to be stylish in order to go from the office to happy hour. Or she just wants those great fitting pieces not just for work but that can transition into stylish and on trend pieces for her nights and weekends.

Theyskens has captured that girl and she can’t wait to see what will come down his runway each season.

Mix and Match Fall Separates

One of the reasons I LOVE fall/winter is all the textures and layers that you can add into your outfits. Especially because this year separates are back, there are so many opportunities to mix in these fun fabrics! Last year started the incorporation of leather, lace and fur but this year it has really taken off. The femininity and elegance of lace, toughened up with the rocker, downtown city girl in leather and the boho luxuriousness of fur is one of my favorite looks! Add in a chunky knit, silk blouse and a corduroy bell bottom pant and your closet is set! These are outfits I can’t wait to put together!!!

This look from Theory is the perfect example of combining these textures. The Black leather pant, the fox fur coat, and a mohair sweater- a long sleeved lace top would also look to DIE under this coat!

Alexander McQueen’s plaid statement jacket with a removable vest, paired with his tuxedo shirt and Victoria Beckham’s rocker zipper jean shows the art of layering.

Elizabeth and James did an AMAZING fur poncho coat, with a stretch leather pant and a rich rust colored silk top called the “Paris Popover” love the color and fabric combination!

Theory from head to toe featuring 3 major fall trends: the bell bottom corduroy, the knit sweater and the fur vest. GREAT look, effortless style!
