Look like a collection of last season's discount racks of Sak fifth avenue.

It's not bad, but it's not needed. I don't think doing the show will do them any favor if they only show clothes that are already available in the store.

Not from last season, more like from 2007!

This is terrible. Theory was in a much better shape without Kalinsky in the studio.

I like the simplicity, wish the shiny pieces werent there.

I had to see Siriano's collection to start liking this a little bit. It's nothing groundbreaking, far away from it but at least nothing truly hurts my eyes here and the shade of red is kinda nice to look at. A tad too simplish for my taste and frankly déjà-vu (season after season, how many shows like this do we see?) but if I take it for what it is, I guess I'm OK with this.

A lot of this is giving JCpenny

I hadn't looked into Theory in a while and was expecting to see yet another brand jumping on the Armani, The Row and Margiela-at-Hermes bandwagon that has haunted so-called minimalist fashion for too long - There's something about the greiges and the roomy cuts that I find very much expected for tailoring at this point, and I'm glad to see this going much more in the direction of Helmut Lang, Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquiere as well as Raf Simons at Jil Sander - With a much trimmer silhouette and modernist styling that indeed brings back memories of the early 2000s (I'm even getting some Rue Cassette vibes from the venue).

HOWEVER, this being Theory, it's falling a bit flat and leaving the offer in a safe office-attire space, whereas any of the aforementioned designers would have gone down a road less obvious and expected.

no nonsense clean cut pieces, give me everything

I have to second that this collection could hardly be more 2007: the length of the skirts, the cut of the jackets and the tights with everything do not lie. It is quite a relief to see something clean and professional, albeit boring, from NYFW, god knows that if I were a woman I’d choose this over the stoner elf and ghetto mother-of-the-bride looks that we’ve seen so far.
