May: Oscar de la Renta

I saw this amazing dress in a recent issue of Vogue. Look at the amazing fabric, design and style! Drop Dead Gorgeous!
You can check out the collections here and also watch the runway videos! This is a terrific place to check out Oscar de la Renta through the years!

"I always tell this story: When I started, the woman went to the store to buy a dress. She saw it in pink and red, and then she remembered that the husband, who is probably going to pay for the dress, loves it in pink. So she buys the pink. Today, the same woman goes to the store and remembers the husband likes pink, and she buys the red.'” - Oscar de la Renta

Oscar dela Renta spring 2010

I love Oscar dela Renta's gorgeous fashions! Wish I had a closet full of them! From ready-to-wear, resort wear, evening gowns, cocktail dresses, etc.

Click on the link to the Oscar dela Renta spring 2010 Fashion show in New York in February. Here is the video.

Also worth checking out the 2010 Bridal collection.

Here are some of my favorite fashions from the shows.

Bridal Gown

I saw this gown in the November issue of Vogue. I had to bookmark the page and blog about it.
Coco Brandolini worked for the designer who is a longtime friend of her parents.

In this "too true to believed story", Mr De la Renta asks her who is making her dress. The intelligent girl looks right back at him and exclaims "You, Please". The life lesson is to jump at opportunities when they present themselves. There aren't words to decribe this gown.
It's a feast for the eyes.



A few weeks ago I did a modeling job for Mary's Bridal at Stone Mountain Park here in Atlanta.
I have posted a link to a number of the photos on my web site. Look for some of them to appear in Modern Bride and Brides magazines come Spring 2009.

The gown is a Satin A-line gown with cathedral train set off by an embroidered sweetheart portrait neckline. Note the stunning crystal/bead work, metallic embroidery with beads, sequins,rhinestones and pearls.
