His sharp design and cutting-edge vision quickly made him one of the most acclaimed and respected designers of his generation.In 2002, Olivier Theyskens was appointed Artistic Director of Rochas, a position he held for four years. He was awarded the title of Best International Designer by the CFDA in 2006, and that same year he took over the position of Artistic Director at Nina Ricci.
Theyskens' unique aesthetic was captured in a personal art book project, The Other Side of the Picture (ed. Assouline). Published in 2010, the book is an anthology of images that offer an intimate insight into Theyskens' work throughout the years.
In 2010, Olivier Theyskens and Andrew Rosen (founder and CEO of Theory) joined their complementary strengths and visionary approaches to contemporary fashion to create the Theyskens' Theory brand.
