Oscar de la Renta presented his pre-fall collection with the fanfare of fashion week — 63 looks shown at the Park Avenue church he used for spring — minus the frenzy. His apparent inspiration: spring's floral fever. He lavished vibrant, blooming prints, floral embroideries and shots of color, like cobalt blue and kelly green, on his signature silhouettes and put a big focus on silk faille circle and dirndl skirts. Meanwhile, classic tweeds and some sleeker shapes offered a subdued, tailored antidote to the vividness.
