According to NY Mag Olivier Refused to be fired!

" Rumors have been circulating for months of design differences between Theyskens and Mario Grauso, the head of Puig Fashion Group, which owns Ricci. Rumor had it Theyskens was out at the house, but his show turned up on the Paris schedule, revealing no unrest on the surface. The show went on today and the rumors haven't died down — the word going around Paris is that Grauso actually fired Theyskens, whose contract isn't up until October, but that Theyskens won't leave. And according to reviews of the collection trickling in from showgoers, Ricci designed with a fighting spirit, sending out a gorgeous, romance-infused, hard-rock-inspired collection. Theyskens has the chance to present one more collection for Ricci before his contract runs out. But if the reviews pour in positively and this collection sells better than his last, will Grauso change his mind? Will Theyskens say "no more drama" and strike out on his own?" from Ny Mag If this is true that is amazing. Typically I dont do the rumor thing but this one is just to good.

i think i love him even more now for reading this!!! i dont think it was as 'gorgeous' and 'stunning' as it says, but the show definitely was great fabulous fashion as it should be, unexpected and just bloody fantastic! and that is such an up yours to the Puig group, after all the creative angst they put him through, i really hope he does go and start his own line and make eveyrone insanely jealous with his talent.

and won't his own label be just amazing!
