Theyskens' Theory

After making his name in couture as artistic director for Nina Ricci and Rochas, Olivier Theyskens turned to ready-to-wear. His capsule collection for Theory -- known for its well-engineered basics -- debuted this fall, making his effortlessly cool style available to a wider audience and at a more accessible price point. His sharply tailored shirts and blazers, perfectly cut jeans and slouchy knits are available in the Twin Cities area exclusively at designer boutique Grethen House. (4930 France Av. S., Edina. 952-926-8725.)
