Givenchy Crossed the Atlantic

Hubert de Givenchy's inspiration has left the Paris resort collections and landed at Oscar de la Renta's Resort 2007 collection in New York. While de la Renta favored last seasons black and white palette, this season it was his shocking color looks that jumped. The tailoring and overall silhouette can be attributed to classic Givenchy from the 50's and even 60's.


The highlight of Oscar de la Renta's resort collection, the prints! Oscar showed a large number of different prints and in a wide selections of themes. From geometric prints in black and white to soft floral prints on pale tangerine silk chiffon or pale pink silk organdy. On a side note, if I see one more ruffle next season I am going pound the floor like a little kid. My favorite pick from the collection is a sleeveless floor length a-line tangerine silk taffeta gown. Stunning. I am actually liking this move toward classic lines and clean fabrics.
