I'm beginning to see that Oscar de la Renta is very much like Valentino. But only Valentino is more bolder.

Does anyone know the music that was playing in the begining of the show?

I think it's the same people doing the "Garden State" film's theme song. Thanks!

The NY Times weighs in

Oscar de la Renta, who makes caftans for the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire to wear at home in her itty-bitty pile, Chatsworth, had the ponytailed freshman Ashley Olsen at his show yesterday, one of those modern incongruities that only fashion can reconcile.

And it was fashion that Mr. de la Renta belted out, not mimsy, tentative gestures that require expertise in obscure literary references. Mr. de la Renta's clothes — the frothy taffeta skirts, the loopy crocheted knits and the embroidered hothouse caftans over bikinis and cigarette pants — project to the farthest row.

The show was an unequivocal statement about femininity, with fresh reprises of white lace dresses belted in black and sailor stripes with crisp cotton pants. And Mr. de la Renta loosened up his suits, treating them now as separates with dirndl skirts. But the boom was at night.

As well as the Associated Press

Oscar de la Renta looked to a print based on the ikat weaving technique native to Uzbekistan, in which a pattern is created from tie-dyed thread, as inspiration for several of the outfits presented in his spring 2005 collection.
De la Renta opened his show Monday, held as part of New York Fashion Week, with jackets, skirts and a coat in colors that included maize, red, brown and muted green.

The best pieces were an ikat coat worn with a white cotton skirt and yellow cashmere sweater and an ikat skirt decorated with glittery sunbursts and paired with a white chiffon ruffle blouse and a beige sequined boucle jacket.

His spring preview, seen by editors, retailers and front-row guests Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore, Serena Williams, Donald Trump and Melania Knauss, featured more casual day clothes than usual, but also included de la Renta's characteristic ruffles and feathers.

A lavender cotton pique bustier paired with a light-green embroidered organza skirt was a youthful black-tie look, while an ivory metallic tweed gown with a jeweled V- neckline was a nice take on the emerging trend of casual elegance.

His silk wrap sweaters, paired with long navy and white georgette skirts, also were standouts.

Just my kind of designer...

This one is very pretty.

But that pink poufy dress painfully reminds me of a timein the 80's that i'd like to forget.

His show is just OOzing with pure, unadulterated joy and that can easily seperate the men from the boys when it comes to 'fashion'.
