Kate Davidson Hudson in Oscar de la Renta
ELLE accessories director Kate Davidson Hudson wore a beautiful Oscar de la Renta dress to the Just Cavalli show in Milan. I always appreciate it when Americans wear our own designers here to the European shows, because American designers are often woefully underrepresented in high-end shops in Paris and Milan, where French and Italian designers dominate. Gotta represent!

Natalie Joos at Derek Lam
Stylist Natalie Joos looked utterly charming at the Derek Lam show dressed in a vintage top, Oscar de la Renta skirt, Prada Bag, Tom Ford sunglasses and Aldo shoes. Love the mix of tropical colors and prints. Tropical prints have been a surprising hit for early fall.

Khakis and a Burberry Trench, Seventh Avenue
A great look for a guy outside the Oscar de la Renta bridal show. Also note the rolled up cuffs and colorful socks – a key look for men right now.

White Blazer and Teal Blouse, Seventh Avenue
A well-dressed crowd showed up for yesterday’s Oscar de la Renta Spring 2012 bridal show on Seventh Avenue in the Garment District. This outfit of a teal silk button down and white blazer with a structured black bag and wedges is perfect for work – even on a day when the temperature goes from 60 to 77 degrees.

Hamish Bowles at Oscar de la Renta
Bright color, one of the major trends for spring 2011, has always been in fashion for Vogue editor Hamish Bowles. Here’s how the look can play out beautifully in menswear.

Julia Frakes at Oscar de la Renta
Love the real life “Gossip Girl” style of Julia Frakes in a prep school blazer with a white cotton dress and tights at the Oscar de la Renta show. According to her tumblr blog Julia Bunny (formerly Bunny Bisous), the dress, tights, and shoes are Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony, the blazer is Topshop with a vintage pin, the sunglasses are Karen Walker.
Here’s another photo of her in a great outfit at last season’s Oscar show.

Bill Cunningham New York
If you see no other movie this spring, make sure you see this entertaining, funny and touching documentary on New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham, playing in many cities across the U.S. Without Mr. Cunningham, street style blogs like this one would not exist. And yes, kids, he was around long before the Sartorialist!
The film chronicles the master of the street style photography from his early career as a milliner through his years starting out in photography in the ’60s to the present day. His nomadic, ascetic daily existence consists of riding his bike to fashion shows and glamorous charity benefits, photographing gorgeous and expensive clothing, then going home to a teeny apartment above Carnegie Hall furnished with filing cabinets and a single cot. He has since moved to a more spacious apartment, and he’s on his 29th bike (the first 28 were stolen), but little else has changed in a life spent pursuing beauty though photography, for which he eventually won a Legion of Honour award in France.
True confession: I make an unintentional cameo in the film! It involves Anna Wintour and the Oscar de la Renta show. I took this photo of Cunningham at top at that same show. It has always been an honor to photograph alongside a true artist and a gentleman.

Park Avenue, Outside Oscar de la Renta
Oscar de la Renta has always been a favorite with the social set. There’s a certain cadre of women who travel to top shows in New York and Paris to select pieces as soon as they appear on the runway – and the Oscar de la Renta show is a key stop on the agenda.
Addendum: Her name is Susan Tabak, NYC Ballet chair and author of Chic in Paris.

Oscar de la Renta SS2011
This season’s Oscar de la Renta show was particularly exciting – it took place during Brooklyn Tornado! You will see the sky get darker throughout these photos – that was not nightfall but the storm coming in. Fortunately we were on Park Avenue and avoided the actual tornado – but for some, it still meant running through a crazy thunderstorm while clad in Oscar de la Renta.
Just before the storm hit. Absolutely fascinated by this woman in chartreuse. (more…)

Oscar de la Renta
Though the plot lines of the show may be a little over-the-top, the tony, polished and sophisticated New York world of Gossip Girl does in fact exist. If you ever need proof, you need only go to an Oscar de la Renta show.
Models after the show. The models’ glam hair and the retro preppy looks on some of the younger guests reminded me of that seminal movie about the Upper East Side in the ’80s, Metropolitan. (more…)

Oscar de la Renta Show SS10
The Oscar de la Renta show always sets the standard for uptown chic, and this season was no exception. The only thing lacking was the socialite contingent, which seemed diminished this time around. Let’s hope the uptown girls follow Anna Wintour’s Fashion’s Night Out initiative and accept that there is no shame in shopping – especially if you’re supporting another critically acclaimed de la Renta collection.
This red dress and classic black heels was the most striking outfit coming in the door. It turned out to be especially appropriate given Oscar de la Renta’s spring line, which featured bright Latin colors. (more…)
Fashion Week SS09: Oscar de la Renta
A designer who dresses everyone from first ladies to megawatt stars, Oscar de la Renta draws a who’s-who list from fashion, New York society, and Hollywood to his shows on Park Avenue. The expensive suit that landed Cindy McCain in so much hot water with the press was Oscar de la Renta.
Anna Wintour in a beautiful white coat. Underneath she cinched her silk dress with a leather belt.
Funky glasses.
Here’s what black lipstick looks like off the runway–rather odd. If you took off the headscarf, this might be a good look. The gray dress on her friend is quite chic.
Conservative chic.
Black and white with a purple handbag.
Lee Radziwill in a white suit.
Sarah Rutson in slouchy harem pants and lots of necklaces.
Jamee Gregory proves that conservative does not have to equal boring. Love the Roger Vivier shoes.
Linda Wells looking very young and sophisticated in a LBD.
Winter florals in purple.
Meredith Melling Burke in a gorgeous black floral dress.
Virginia Smith, also of Vogue, accessorizing with an Obama pin on her handbag.
Rachel Zoe and sidekick. She actually looked really good in real life–perfectly put together. Now if only we didn’t know what was going on in that head of hers.
Fashion has changed with the climate–there were many more white cotton dresses in September. Call it winter white right now.
Nina Garcia obviously knows how to pick out a dress, but sometimes we think she needs a stylist. Looking at this photo, don’t you want to put her hair up? Unless you emphasize a long neck, puffy sleeves can create the football player effect.
There was a rumor about Jennifer Lopez that she uses Creme de la Mer as body moisturizer. Seen up close, her skin gives some credence that rumor–gorgeous!

Fashion Week SS08: Oscar de la Renta
Perhaps no other designer works with his customer in mind as much as Oscar de la Renta – not an abstract idea of “the customer,” but the actual women who wear his clothes. Every season a loyal coterie of socialites attends de la Renta’s show – and this year, a new Hollywood contingent including Victoria Beckham.
There was no one defining silhouette in this collection, though with the exception of a couple of trapeze dresses, the focus was again on the waist. Moroccan-inspired prints inlaid with sequins and botanical patterns sparkling with hundreds of tiny mirrors were the most exciting developments. These looked particularly beautiful in motion.

Fashion Week FS07: Oscar de la Renta
The ultimate fashion power crowd descended upon the Oscar de la Renta show yesterday. There was fur, fur everywhere on this particularly frigid New York day, though none of it seemed to be flying, even in the middle of Fashion Week.
Oh yes: and lest you ever feel lazy for wearing the same thing two days in a row, even the editor of French Vogue has been spied sporting the same very fabulous coat twice. Now that’s confidence. And chic.
