Olivier Theyskens knows what girls like, and he didn’t hold back for Spring/Summer 14 with a collection of pared-back, multi-layered round-the-clock ensembles. Looking to his girlfriend’s suitcases for inspiration, Theyskens’ noticed a recurring theme – an assortment of tank and crop tops, button-down shirts, singlets and loose tees that while alone appear inconsequential, yet make a statement when layered together. The idea may be uncomplicated, but it highlights Theyskens knack for creating accessible garments that can be styled countless ways to create entirely unique looks.

Where recent collections have seen Theyskens draw on his 90s grunge roots, his vision for spring was clean and fresh, with subtle hints of 90s brought up to date via impeccable tailoring. Layering was key, and suggested in numerous ways – chicly oversized suit jackets or sweaters were paired with long tops over knee-length shorts, mini-skirts or long skirts with ruffle hems, the result a soft and effortless silhouette. A rock’n’roll vibe came through as standout black leather pieces including a voluminous floor-length skirt and slouchy t-shirt style top took to the catwalk, while multiple sheer layers revealing skin worn atop or beneath opaque items added a touch of sex appeal. Pretty floor-length pastel colour-blocked silk dresses consisting of layered sections closed the show, a whimsical note to an otherwise pragmatic-chic spring collection.
