A Sense of Beauty, Episode 8: You Never Know Until the Day Of

The Oscar de la Renta New York headquarters are booked day-to-night with fittings as samples arrive from Italy and the Atelier. With House Model Vik Kukandzina fitting every style, the months-long design process earns tangibility. Co-Creative Directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia’s work room becomes the Design team's hub as styles that did not meet expectations are challenged, altered and cancelled. The crystal fern gown, which journeyed from idea to muslin in our New York headquarters, and from embroidery in India to tactical sewing in the NYC Atelier, finds final form. The fringe embroidery group receives mixed feedback. CEO Alex Bolen offers his thoughts on the woven leather program’s progress. Skirts are cut with a slit, hemlines shortened and some styles need no alterations ahead of the next day’s collection styling. 5 days to the collection due date. ― Established in New York City in 1965, Oscar de la Renta is one of the world's leading luxury brands.
