Oscar de la Renta wants his woman to be dripping in diamonds.
After days of menswear-inspired wares, de la Renta put on a sparkly spectacle that heavily rotated a gorgeous “bijoux pendant” pattern sure to send his customer flocking for his frocks come fall: Ranging from colorful silk prints to sewn-on crystal and pearl pendants, there was no shortage of glitter in this collection.
Crystal tiara-topped models clutched bejeweled box clutches while traipsing down the runway in red-carpet ready dresses that are sure to delight front row celeb Minka Kelly.
The look was youthful and prim, and while his Upper East Side clientele will gravitate toward those embroidered tweed skirt suits, more than a few downtown socials will fall hard for that icy blue mini-pouf dress covered in crystals and feathers, complete with matching headband. A finale of tulle ballgowns in macaroon-like hues was the stuff fashion fantasies are made of. The overall effect made his women look like shimmering baubles; what could be so wrong with that?
