Oscar De La Renta: Fall 2016
That's pretty enough. It's not actively upsetting, and a skirt with a bunch of bridges on it might look very dramatic at some overseas film festival or other.

This bums me out, though. The top is like a lace prison.
Oscar De La Renta: Fall 2016
I CAN get with this one, though. All of this looks a bit less classically elegant than traditional OdlR, and a bit more... rock and roll, maybe, just a TOUCH? But I understand the new guy has to filter in his own tastes and his own direction. This is at least an attractive attempt.
Oscar De La Renta: Fall 2016
As is this.

This is the "Did you make something for Kiernan Shipka? HURRY!" outfit.

I don't know that I'd have cut a shirt dress from that particular fabric. It doesn't seem to like being manipulated.
Oscar De La Renta: Fall 2016
That's fairly groovy. I'll allow it.
Oscar De La Renta: Fall 2016
Also pretty. I am not frothing with rage at all.
Oscar De La Renta: Fall 2016
I MIGHT BE starting to bubble up here though,
Oscar De La Renta: Fall 2016
WHAT. Oscar would have hated this, no? I wish I had seen Anna Wintour's face while she took in this monstrosity of a morning-after walk from a woman who lost her bottoms and had to improvise with hotel bedding.

I am very much soothed by this lovely piece.
Oscar De La Renta: Fall 2016
And in black it works, too.

That's an interesting color, and some funky manipulations on the bodice. I'LL ALLOW IT, COPPING.
Oscar De La Renta: Fall 2016
I like the idea of that, because of the gold, but it's a lackluster cut for me. It's a bit too C3PTA.
Oscar De La Renta: Fall 2016
What a nice fabric. Not a fan of what it's been turned into; I am actively afraid of whatever's happening behind her, and the skirt isn't my favorite either.
Oscar De La Renta: Fall 2016
That one woman in the front row either has a very SERIOUS fashion week poker face, or she's SUPER unimpressed.
Oscar De La Renta: Fall 2016
Lovely; icy.
Oscar De La Renta: Fall 2016
All that visible boning just feels like a left turn for this.
Oscar De La Renta: Fall 2016
This one is also lovely, but in a sad way. It is an 89 percent that REALLY wishes it had cracked the 90s.
Oscar De La Renta: Fall 2016
I prefer that bodice to the ones with the boned cummerbunds.
Oscar De La Renta: Fall 2016
I prefer DRINKING BURNING HOT COAL POWDER to whatever is happening here.
Oscar De La Renta: Fall 2016
This is really gross of me, but I can't escape that it evokes a lady whose Personal Monthly Tab was delivered early to her table and she had to staple a carefully placed bolt of taffeta to cover it.
Oscar De La Renta: Fall 2016
That fabric is doing a weird thing down there on the skirt. I don't mind the concept of this, though. The glove feels too Paris Hilton, perhaps.
Oscar De La Renta: Fall 2016
But this just doesn't feel related to this company, really? It's also just an ugly bustier. I have yet to feel truly transported by any of these, and I'll be sad if OdlR suffers the fate of some of the couture collections: a descent into madness.
