Oscar de la Renta resort 2019


Here is a lesson in how a heritage brand evolves. The Monse team has not let go or abandoned the spirit of Oscar. From the broderie anglaise references to the dots and colors, to the tiers, to the elaborate ball gowns . . . they are all present and accounted for with great skill in the translation and evolution.

What was a bit sad were the blue plaid pieces, some of the toiles and some of the more sportswear type pieces. The point being that there is enough here to please the “new” Oscar customer as well as the one who has morphed with the future of the brand. This is not the ladies who lunch anymore. These are clothes that lack any trend and are slick and chic and in many ways ageless or timeless.

It’s my opinion that if Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia can hold steady and steer the course of the brand in this direction that there will be great cause for celebration. I don’t even want to know what the so called media elite has to say as their credibility has sunk to a level which equals that of Trumps popularity.

With all this said ... if we were on American Bandstand I’d give this an 85  ... easy to wear easy to understand and in keeping with the DNA of the eponymous designer! KUDOS!!
