Ladylike, sophisticated and chic. Oscar de la Renta went all out for 1940's glamour at his Spring 2014 catwalk show.
Monochrome 2 pieces sailed down the runway with hints of Elizabeathan extravegance, which de le Renta claimed was his starting point for the collection. Belts cinched in the waists of tailored shift dresses, collars were big and daring and the knee length skirt, (a big trend for fall 2013) looked as though it was here to stay for next Summer too. Black and white was the main colour of choice for de la Renta but he ended his show with what seemed like an endless showcase of pastel coloured dresses adorned with ruffles and delicate flowers. His iconic ballgown dresses were updated this season in neon brights with a a hint of the ankle and not much else. These dresses were designed with one vision in mind: the red carpet. Yes, you couldn't walk around Tesco pushing a trolley in a de le Renta dress, even if you were Paris Hilton! You just wouldn't fit down the aisles.
Even though this collection was not very practical for the everyday woman, it had many beautiful pieces which could be reworked with any outfit. My favourite look? Joan Smalls wearing that lovely two piece black suit with a collar that eclipsed the jacket completely.
Below are some of my favourite looks from the collection. Remember to keep checking back to MODA01 for all the latest at the international fashion weeks!
