the true best of new york fashion week: Oscar de la Renta

Classic.

That is the simpliest, yet most direct way to describe anything Oscar de la Renta touches.

This collection needs no review. It needs no recount. For me, it defines how a woman should dress and the ultimate in style.

And I'm not the only one who thinks so. Cathy Horyn of the New York Times writes about his ability to create a look for every kind of woman, and have them be individualized at the same time.

The bright colors echoed the season as bright purples, blues, and oranges made many appearances down the catwalk. He showed many different kinds of looks, per usual, from casual daywear to red carpet ready. Oscar defines fashion. Of course, every show has pieces that not everyone addresses with. But this show, so far, is the best of New York Fashion Week. All in my opinion, of course.

I'm truly at a loss for words.

Slideshow of the looks.

Favorite Look:

Okay. It isn't fair. But I really can't choose. Really can't.
If you don't look at any of the rest of the slideshows, look at this one.
Seriously.

whoever caught this on tape is my hero.

On fabulous Madison Avenue, during the Fashion's Night Out celebration, Oscar de la Renta promised he would take the stage at his boutique and sing with one of the most famous women in America, Barbara Walters.

I'd heard rumors about this, and wasn't sure if it would happen. Had I been there, I definitely would've gone just to see if the rumors were true.

So if Oscar and Barbara the duet wasn't fantastic enough, guess who else showed up. You'll never guess. Unless of course you've already read it somewhere...

The goddess Bette Milder, and the other goddess, Sarah Jessica Parker, commonly known as SJP, the love of my life.

My favorite fashion blog, New York Magazine's The Cut, posted this in all it's glory. Thank god for those girls.

Enjoy.
