Show: Oscar de la Renta
Date: September 13, 2011
Time: 6:30pm
Venue: 11 West 42nd Street
Inspiration: Oscar’s signature Latin-inspired elegance, with a strong infusion or youth and a touch of rock’n’roll rawness.
Music: Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd
Favorite Look: A red strapless, asymmetrical gown topped with a white lace cropped t-shirt.
Additional Notes: Wild hair with bejeweled bands, raucous music, socks with booties instead of heels and shocking jewel tones—citrine, sapphire and vermillion, instead of emerald and ruby—demonstrated the storied American house’s commitment to embracing the now and loving life, as embodied in the new Oscar fragrance Live in Love. – ED
