The Oscar de la Renta Retrospective at the de Young Museum was beautifully curated. I did my best to capture the essence of his work, his passion. These are just a few of the pictures I took today; for simplicity's sake, I present them in the rough order of their presentation...

 (okay, seriously? I love everything about this)

Mr. de la Renta was born in the Dominican Republic and trained under Balenciaga and Antonio del Castillo in Spain as a young designer. These pieces highlight the influence Spain and her culture had on his aesthetic.
