The uncertain fate of Olivier Theyskens

By now, I'm sure you've all heard the news: Rochas is no more and Olivier Theyskens is out a job, or at least he will be after this season.

Of course, there's been much melodramatic humming and hawing about how the end of Rochas marks the end of haute couture (presumably because Theyskens had an aversion to designing big money makers like shoes and handbags). But of course, before he is even technically out of work, Theyskens already rumored to have been tapped by another label.

According to the *highly-reliable* source that is PageSix, Theyskens is currently in talks with Nina Ricci. Having given ex-designer Lars Nilsson the boot, Nina Ricci has been in the market for a new mastermind for a while now.
