The house of Nina Ricci is back on track - and so is acclaimed designer Olivier Theyskens.
He has previously work for Rochas, amusing the critics and gaining indisputable respect among the industry’s socialites. Nevertheless, the house of Rochas only conceived the creation of a womenswear collection as an experiment which could never work on the long run. So in spite of being vastly talented, Olivier‘s work was no longer required at Rochas. Therefore, and as the result of many doors being opened, he begun working for Nina Ricci.
His ascendance as Ricci’s creative director helps enormously to fulfill the great desire the label has of “coming back”. For many, many, years the house of Ricci was one the most refined, exquisite, fashion labels out there. While commanded by Nina, haute couture gowns were custom made in Paris and Buenos Aires and shipped worldwide. The industry love her work and she was a part of fashion’s crème de la crème. Then, the label changed design hands for decades; and it wasn’t until 2003 with the arrival Lars Nilsson that the label begun growing steadily.
Olivier’s debut collection for the house of Ricci was an absolute success. The pre-fall womenswear line features very delicate, ethereal, and feminine garments that expose both Olivier’s talent and Ricci’s famous aesthetic. On his debut line, he created very approachable looks which aren’t any difficult to pull off -and he managed to put a nice bit of haute couture flavor on every piece
As well as designing the actual collections, Olivier is currently developing a dashing concept for a new boutique the label is set to open on Avenue Montaigne later this year. In addition, he is also “helping” to elaborate the different shop-in-stores that the house of Ricci will have over the world.
For those who feel attracted by his work or eager to see his debut collection, you can have a look at it and even buy it on eLuxury.com
Olivier certainly is a extremely talented designer. He deserves every tiny bit of his popularity.
