Former Nina Ricci designer and acclaimed creative mind Olivier Theyskens was fired again today from his new temporary job at a McDonald's just outside Des Moines, Iowa.
According to the owner, "He told me it was just a temporary thing, you know- out of fashion and into fry-cooking while he got things together."
However, even this simple job eluded Theyskens, whose originality, talent, and creative vision proved too much for the fast food franchise, sadly echoing his earlier high fashion dismissal. Says his supervisor, "He put together the familiar ingredients in ways we'd never seen before. No one could remember such originality- each thing he created was distinct and instantly recognizeable as his. Clearly, he had to go. That sort of behavior just can't be tolerated."
At this point, one must wonder what will become of the formerly rising star. One can only hope he will be able to rein in his ground-breaking tendencies in favor of the status quo, which will allow him to return to yet another hawkishly-watched, probationary position at a major design house where he can once again be replaced by someone best known for over-priced accessories should he prove obstinately original yet again.
