Oscar de la Renta is definitely looking different, but I’m loving it! Creative Directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia showcased their ready-to-wear spring/summer 2018 Oscar de la Renta collection during New York Fashion Week. This was the duo’s sophomore collection for the brand and they definitely did things a little differently. When the duo was brought back to Oscar de la Renta as creative directors, they were charged with the task of capturing a younger audience. This RTW S/S18 collection sure captured me!
The models entered and exited the runway on escalators. As the show opens, you see a crisp white button down with a pair of equality crisp white shorts coming down the escalator and then … color! The shirt is embellished with small pops of color and sequins. The designer duo was inspired by pop art and Oscar’s signature and hand written notes. Throughout the collection there are paint like splatters and handwritten notes and signatures used as motifs. Since this is the ready to wear line, the designers wanted to stay true to the house, but also stay relevant to the more casual style that is trending right now. The looks featured a blend of edge and elegance, which I love!
Here are a few of my favorite looks from the show:
