MY VIEW: Oscar de la Renta at NYFW 2013

I’ve not been that impressed with many of the collections at NYFW this season, so haven’t done any commentary.  However, Oscar de la Renta made sure that all eyes were on his NYFW show by announcing that John Galliano has been working with him in the 3 weeks prior to the show as his rehabilitation into the fashion world.   I for one was intrigued to see what Galliano’s influence would be, but this was classically an ODLR collection with Galliano touches.  I’m not normally such a ODLR fan, as I think his designs are too girly/ladylike for my personal style, but I think the images I’ve chosen as my picks below show the Galliano influence, slightly more edgy (I hate that word as it describes nothing!), with the more theatrical and gothic elements which were Galliano trademarks, especially the cinched in waists, cloche hats and the amazing organza and lace gowns.  However, my favourite piece was the amazing tapestry cocoon dress which I am hoping with have a thousand high street copies as I need this in my wardrobe!

I’m looking forward to LFW next week.  I’ve been invited to the Topshop show, but can’t go as a have a job interview, but I’ll definitely be trying to catch the live feed, and will no doubt be posting my views on the collections.
