Oscar de la Renta

Mr. de la Renta's Fall 2011 collection was a treat for celebrities as it featured many potential Red Carpet looks. Although the collection was far from cohesive, the simplicity and elegance featured in the evening wear designs took precedence over all.

The zeitgeist of the past decade has been reflected on the catwalk season after season in many ways. We've seen military-inspired designs, classic pieces with modern twists, and of course the ever popular minimalism trend. 

The thing that I loved the most about this collection was that it didn't reflect the zeitgeist at all! It was full of luxury, culture, history and elegance. Mr. de la Renta effortlessly incorporated inspirations from Persia, Morocco and India. 

It was reported that some left the show un-happy, however, this collection was new, inspiring, and a breath of fresh air! This collection is full of what fashion truly means.
