FASHION PHOENIX WELCOMES NEW WRITER / ASSISTANT EDITOR LINDSEY KLIES TO THE TEAM!

Olivier Theyskens ~ Theory’s New Artistic Director. By Lindsey Klies

Every woman needs a little black dress in her closet. Last week, to my surprise, I found that perfect little black dress by Olivier Theyskens. I was looking for a dress for an event when serendipity introduced me to Olivier.  From that moment, I knew it was destiny for me to own and appreciate such an elegant yet edgy dress. With every stitch, one can see that the garment was made with care and extraordinary conceptual thought.

I’m not just wearing a dress; I’m making a statement. When I wear my Olivier Theyskens dress I feel confident, independent and unique. Fashion is all about finding your own style and experimentation. Don’t be afraid to stand out and have fun! After all, that’s what fashion is about. Fashion is always evolving. Find what works for you and wear what you love.

It’s now time for Olivier to make a transition as Theory’s new Artistic Director! According to New York Magazine, “Theyskens previously signed a deal to design the Theyskens Theory label for the brand, which debuts for Spring 2011, but will take over design for the entire label as artistic director beginning with the Fall 2011 season.” I’m looking forward to the new designs and wish Olivier the best.

The adorable Lindsey!

Oday Shakar, the Los Angeles designer who dressed Sandra Bullock at the recent MTV Music Awards, is coming to Scottsdale for the Trends Charitable Fund and Trends Magazine Fashion Show at The Biltmore and to host a private trunk show here on Monday. Oh and of course, he chatted with Fashion Phoenix on his line and what’s to come…

Sandra Bullock in Oday Shakar at MTV Music Awards 2010

Known for beautiful evening gowns and cocktail dresses, the FIDM graduate worked as a designer in Los Angeles for almost a decade until launching his own line less than two years ago. In such a short time, Oday Shakar has dressed one of Hollywood’s top actresses, Sandra Bullock, as mentioned and actresses Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter) and Eva LaRue (CSI Miami). Currently, his collection pieces are only available from his Orange County atelier or private trunk shows. However, plans for label expansion into New York and hopefully our local department stores are currently in development.

We’ll be meeting him this weekend and hopefully getting a chance to try on a few pieces at his private trunk show.  Looking forward to sharing more on the amazing Oday Shakar, and amazingly sweet I may add too! Have a great weekend! Enjoy the show for those of you lucky enough to go! xo
