I give the brand points for moving from a dead spot and for taking a more edited, minimal approach. That being said, I cannot help but feel a large amount of inspiration from today's trendy houses, most notably Dior - notice de la Renta's version of the bar jacket and those structured strapless rompers that Simons popularized lately - and Chanel in those hourglass silhouette pieces with a defined black waist. I also see a more affordable version of Cate Blanchett's Armani couture gown from the Oscars, so that's not very good I guess.

the first part looks like Dior by Raf Simons, but friendlier.

MAY 15, 2014
NEW YORK
By Nicole Phelps

"Resort means nothing. Who buys clothes exclusively for going to a resort?" asked Oscar de la Renta at his presentation today. Who indeed? Even the rarefied crowd who shops for and wears four- and five-figure designer clothes wants value. De la Renta imbued his new collection with a good deal of that, opening his salon presentation with smart black-and-white looks, including a trim skirtsuit in tweed bouclé and a graphic coatdress with short, elbow-length sleeves. But just as often, he seemed eager to inject a fair bit of fun into the proceedings. That black-and-white coatdress was accessorized with fuchsia pumps, part of a renewed emphasis on footwear. Meanwhile, a silk faille bustier bared the midriff above a hip-slung skirt, and a bandeau top and shorts in Lurex-shot navy moire exposed plenty of shoulder and thigh. If those two looks seemed like something of a reach for the debonair De la Renta, it would take no stretch of the imagination to envision one of his ladies in the tomato red version of that bandeau top worn with wide-leg black culottes.

In the end, anyway, those daytime looks were just a preamble. The evening dresses were the undisputed winners of this collection. A long-sleeved, black lace ankle-length gown with contrasting lace trim struck an elegant yet youthful note, while a strapless dress in hot pink with bullion filigree and multicolored floral embroidery was exuberant and joyous—not to mention a breeze to maneuver in with its just-below-the-knee length. It would've been a major hit on the Met Gala red carpet last week.

I am so glad that I'm not the only one who felt the Raf Dior vibe, some of the looks are striking in their similarity. Additionally, some of the silhouettes are simply unflattering and bizarre. That said, a lot of the looks are frothy and saccharine, which is where I think he particularly thrives.

The last dress on post #5 gives me Dolce & Gabbana vibes..
