Theory Taps Olivier Theyskens For Capsule Collection

May 27, 2010 @ 10:52 am

Oliver Theyskens is finally ready for his comeback: His first gig since leaving Nina Ricci—where his collections were critically-acclaimed if not always commercially successful—is with department store staple Theory, for whom he’ll design a capsule collection timed to debut in the spring of 2011. The Belgian designer, who first gained international notice as the creative director of Rochas, has a flair for creating fresh red carpet looks: The canary yellow Nina Ricci Reese Witherspoon wore to the 2007 Golden Globes is still a classic. So we can’t wait to see what he does for Theory, which is better known for office-ready basics than gala-worthy gowns. Stay tuned for more details!

Stars Take Red-Carpet Risks In London

May 27, 2010 @ 10:01 am

Last Night’s National Movie Awards at London’s Festival Hall attracted a parade of fashion-forward looks from our favorite stars: Katie Holmes escorted husband Tom Cruise, who received the Screen Icon Award, in a dizzying black and white striped maxi-dress from her line, Holmes & Yang, which she paired with edgy Roger Vivier ‘Belle Lucie’ satin peep-toe boots. Gwyneth Paltrow, who presented Cruise with his honor, surprised in head-to-toe Malibu Barbie pink, courtesy of Prada. And Diane Kruger wowed in a bronze-applique minidress by Lanvin and chain strap pumps. While The Twilight Saga was the big winner of the night, receiving three awards, Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince took home the Best Family Film Award and the stylish Emma Watson (in white tweed Karl Lagerfeld) was on hand to accept the prize. Click on the gallery to see all the red carpet style at the National Movie Awards 2010.
