Rags to Riches




     

From his ready-to-wear collection to his advertising campaign, sunglasses, jewellery and footwear, Oscar de la Renta has, as always, gained the respect of any true fashionista out there. His ball gowns, which for most of us will remain a fantasy, shimmered their way down the catwalk in rich emerald,ruby and golden helidor. Opulent? Yes! But definitely worth it! The tiered skirts juxtaposed with crochet, lace or frilled tops, creates a beautiful silhouette, perfect for those with a small waist, eager to hide those not so toned legs! However, for the most of us, it is his general collection that is worth noting... I for one, am not regularly trotting down the red carpet. 

This is equally as beautiful and far more wearable. With structured tailoring and often bright colours it makes for a great collection that can easily be transferred into the workplace. Oscar has been on my radar for a while now and each time I come into contact with any of his pieces my love for his collection grows. The mix match of classic shapes with bold prints gives its a contemporary feel that is suitable for any age, and I could quite easily stock my entire wardrobe with his designs.
