Oscar de la Renta has unveiled a new collection for Pre-Fall 2022.
This elegant yet colourful collection reflects the joyful promise of summer with an understated colour palette and feminine details.
A rainbow of sorbet tones is broken up by a scarf print concept that adorns dresses, shorts and shirts, richly textured in silk twills and embellished with soft, fluid ties.
The bright colours of Fauvism and bold brushstrokes of Impressionism are also on display. Eyelash sequins applied to a white mini dress visually distort the large-scale print and give the illusion of flowers when viewed from a distance.
Vivid hues punctuate just-to-there dresses in garden-fresh shades of wisteria and lilac, honeysuckle and daffodil.
A plaid embroidery found in the House’s archives was originally created by Oscar himself in the 1980s. This pattern now serves as the foundation for a fresh, contemporary application. Each design was handpicked and made into patchwork prints from Gentili Mosconi and applied to dresses, shorts and jackets.
Tailoring is relaxed, with sleek day suits and dresses featuring bold and degradé colours and shorter hemlines, offering up a refreshing twist on the 1990s.
Fabric manipulations are a key surface treatment, marked by an organic shredded-tulle story with a white top and beige gown. A myriad of bias-cut bows adorns a rose-coloured taffeta gown, presenting a wildly spectacular shredded effect.
The collection is now available at stores across the region.
