Oscar de la Renta’s Post

For Oscar de la Renta’s return to the runway, Co-Creative Directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia present Pre-Spring 2025, celebrating the prolific nature of the organic—a concept first evoked by Garcia’s own watercolor orchid paintings.    Rosehip, lapis and butter yellow enliven the neutral tones which ground the collection, while drop-shoulder silhouettes and relaxed tailoring elevate daywear with liberated sophistication. Orchid flowers manifest in a multitude of techniques. The hero ballet slipper orchid print introduces the group, making way for hand-threaded guipure and orchid-printed gold metal organza.   Snakeskin dances across silhouettes, both as a print and a mimetic embroidery while abstraction figures prominently, manifesting in bold tones and statement pieces. Beaded fringe embroidery appears across outerwear, dresses and separates, and a technical fringe fil coupé lends texture in persimmon, lapis, ivory and black. The house-championed stained glass embroidery technique is reimagined for the season in structural gowns that celebrate orchids and rosettes.

For the Oscar de la Renta Fall 2024 Collection, Co-Creative Directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia find inspiration in art nouveau architecture and glass designs.   Vibrant hues of ginger, olivine and berry complement the collection staple, cocoa. Bold prints such as the jaguar, ‘O’ chain-link and spider chrysanthemum artwork cover classic daywear styles. Sophisticated silhouettes reveal themselves in refined tailoring, corseted tea-length dresses and structured gowns—punctuated with organic hemlines. Novelty fabrics such as a cocoa and ginger ombré leather and a woven basketweave crepe showcase the collection’s innovative techniques.   Prominent art nouveau elements come to the fore in eveningwear—highlighted by the sinuous corded crystal cocktail dress, ornamental sapphire ombré crystal column gown, and individually dyed acrylic paillette embellished gowns inspired by stained glass décor.

Artisanal techniques—ancient Turkish Ebru marbling, leather weaving, abstract painting, and tailoring—are pillars of Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2024. Co-creative directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia tap a global guild of artists to weave the story of the collection. #odlrprefall2024

The Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2024 Collection showcases timeless elegance and impeccable craftsmanship—reimagining heritage concepts with innovative design. Co-Creative Directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia utilize novel prints, marbling techniques and abstract motifs to capture the modernity of the Oscar woman. Tailored suiting appears in pinstripe and plaid woven prints; a calendula marbleized brushstroke print manifests on structures silhouettes, and a floral doily motif is imagined on leather skirts and dresses with a laser-cut technique. The collection is embedded with poppies, carnations and ferns, which are actualized on a multitude of mediums. A crystal fern embellished strapless gown with illustrative lines which cascade down the skirt offers a new iteration of the motif made iconic by the house. Oscar de la Renta pre-fall 2024 embraces house identity through a refined and enriched lens. #odlrprefall2024

Introducing the Oscar de la Renta Fall 2024 Bridal Collection. Co-Creative Directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia enliven classic silhouettes with exquisite craftsmanship and alluring modernity—fit for every bride’s unique style and vision. Dreamy silhouettes manifest throughout the collection including a scoop neck cap-sleeve ball gown, embellished with intricate floral thread work. A delicately pleated tulle gown with a corseted bodice features ethereal off-the-shoulder tulle sleeves and a neckline adorned in lily of the valley embroideries. Kim and Garcia have once again proven their ability to create bridal gowns that are both timeless and contemporary through intricately detailed embellishments, impeccable craftsmanship and innovative structural designs. Several gowns are punctuated by sophisticated and modern elements—a cowl neck, bias cut slip gown is garnished with a leaf thread work strap on one shoulder. The delicate leaves accompany hydrangeas, asymmetrically cascading down the sleek silhouette. The décolletage beutifully paints the illusion of leaves swaying freely in the wind. The Oscar de la Renta Fall 2024 Bridal Collection radiates a timeless and sophisticated glamour. Discover the magic of the collection, exclusively at oscardelarenta.com.
