After viewing this collection , for some reason, I became very nostalgic; times when collections were not so much themed but told a color story or a fabric story or a pattern story and then of course you could always rely on a nautical theme and in Oscar’s case his use of broderie anglaisefor resort.

What I find fascinating about Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia is that somehow they have retained the essence of Oscar… maybe not the look but the feel of the clothes. They have a chic, they have a polish but I just can’t ever get past that calf length that I find so unattractive on anyone and almost offensive to my eye. Even though I miss those cha cha/rumba dresses, the body fitted torsos, the polka dots, the ruffles and the slickness that were all so Oscar, this new incarnation serves his name well. They do him justice, they give him his props.

I categorically cannot say the collection is flawless but it is damn good especially when holding it up against the competition on an international stage. Yes, there were a few too many goddess gowns and yes the chain thing may have been a tad over done as well was a certain stiffness in some pieces but there is enough to see and appreciate and for the client to love.
