Nina Ricci Fall 09

Did Theysken's choose to do harder, edgy look with big shoulders and CRAZY eight inch shoes for a specific reason? As much as I loved this collection, I was kinda looking forward to some delicate and romantic dresses in a beautiful garden. Olivier gave a long emotional bow and got a standing ovation at the end of the show. Could this really be the end :( I heard that they already fired him, but he's just not leaving. Maybe all these changes will change managements mind?
