below two: Theyskens Theory - fall 2012
Olivier Theyskens is a Dutch fashion designer who has worked with several major houses, including Rochas, Nina Ricci, and Theory.
When he was young, Theyskens desperately wanted to be a girl and was tormented by the fact that girls "got to be princesses and wear skirts." In 1995, aged 18, Theyskens began to study fashion design but dropped out in 1997 to start his own label. Eventually without sufficient financial support, he was forced to close. Despite this, sales of his line were surprisingly strong. Theyskens was brought to public attention when one of his dresses was worn by Madonna to the 1998 Academy Awards. In 2002 at age 25, Rochas appointed Theyskens as its creative director.
