Anyone who even reads my blog semi regularly knows very well my vast love of Oscar de la Renta. Every time I sit down to review one of his brilliant collections my review turns into a gushy entry about my school girl level crush on his garments. Well if you expected anything different this time around you are sadly mistaken because nothing makes me feel weaker in the knees than his artistically crafted gowns.

After looking through the collection the first thing that popped into my mind was the bridal tradition of ”something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” and this unmistakable pattern that could be found throughout its entirety. The gowns had features reminiscent of decades past with Oscar’s signature vintage ornate lace and crochet detailing alongside dropped waists, long sheer gloves and vintage style jewels. “Something blue” was the token pop of colour for this collection in organza, silk, tulle such as the blue satin faced organza train on the white floral guipure gown. Being a lover of the popular high slit I fell in love with the ivory silk chiffon drape gown that was accented by only the branch of fresh white flowers held by the model. Another show stopper had to be the fun little feathered shrug that was paired with the voluminous organza gown with a sweetheart neckline and sheer long gloves.

Just another eye popping collection full of stand out pieces that make me want to turn into that slightly crazed girl with a bridal scrap book at 22 years old.
