Oscar de la Renta Fall 1985 Runway Show

“In this collection, there’s the contradiction of very luxurious fabrics treated in a simple way. The clothes are closer to the body,” Oscar says. “I love the feeling of cashmere because it brings a feeling of luxuriousness and, at the same time, there’s a sensuality to it.” Luxury meets restraint in Oscar de la Renta’s Fall 1985 collection, where sumptuous materials are treated with a newfound simplicity. Double-faced wool, cashmere and richly textured fabrics follow a leaner silhouette, while broad shoulders and capacious coats play against a sharply defined waist. “You need the big shoulder because the big shoulder makes for the small waist.” By evening, restraint gives way to opulence. Hot pink, lemon and mint meet black velvet, printed chiffon and hammered satin, illuminated with sequins, beads and jewel-like embellishment. We invite you inside the Archive, where 1965 meets the present. #odlrarchive ― Established in New York City in 1965, Oscar de la Renta is one of the world's leading luxury brands.
