When the announcement went out that Oscar de la Renta would be visiting Sydney for the first time to close Fashion Week Australia with its S/S 16 collection, our office went into overdrive—everyone can name an iconic Oscar de la Renta moment at the drop of a hat (e.g. Carrie Bradshaw in the pink Oscar de la Renta dress ordering McDonalds in Sex and the City), and it got us excited about the history we’re about to witness in Sydney.
What do we know so far? It’s the first time Oscar de la Renta has brought a fashion show to Australia, we’ll be seeing some exclusive pieces that have never been revealed, the label will be represented in Sydney by Executive Vice President, Eliza Bolen, and the show is being staged by world-class producer, Ali Newling.
Every major celebrity has stepped out in Oscar de la Renta, so to celebrate the luxury label’s Sydney visit, we’re revisiting our favourite moments. Keep scrolling to see our favourite times an Oscar de la Renta dress has hit the red carpet.
