Oscar de la Renta Spring 2015 RTW

He was an elegant man who made elegant clothes–America's purveyor of lady. Needless to say. I'm saddened by the passing of the one-and-only Oscar de la Renta. I've heard some comment that "he had a full life," noting that his age of 82 seems like an appropriate departure point. Conversely, I can't help but feel that he had more to give. Take last month's debut of his spring collection: it's the epitome of feminine sophistication, signature Oscar. His life was full and he contributed much, but I'll continue to miss what could have been.
