Working My First Major Fashion Show: Oscar De La Renta Pre-Fall

For Spring, Oscar de la Renta gave us a crash course on all the reasons we love him. The taffeta ball skirts! Those handkerchief lace dresses! The embellished gowns! The pre-fall collection he presented December 5th on Park Avenue, served as a reminder that ODLR still has his charms when he’s performing in a minor key. Working this show gave me a closer look at the ODLR pieces and I was in love although, this line did not cater to his younger consumer the garments were pure genius. I have never seen a team work so hard, backstage was a rush! and for the first time I was not dressing the models, I was helping with his team fine tune the models before the went out. Of Course, All of ODLR shows are star-studded but seeing Fashions Elite grace his backstage was amazing, never thought I would be literally, inches away for Andre Leon Talley. Just as his spring collection sitting seats away from Anna Wintour. Being a spectator, Of both show I never though of ODLR as one of my favorite designers until I saw two lines first hand and I love his work.
