de la Renta resort 2009

I think this collection is worth looking at for several reasons. First, it’s Oscar de la Renta without Oscar, although it isn’t the first collection without him. Second, it may be helpful in terms of making sure what we buy for summer 2008 will still be current in 2009. Third, the resort collections are always interesting because unlike the two big runway collections, resort wear is intended to be bought and worn. It’s designed to be wearable by real customers because the people who tend to need summer clothes in the dead of winter can afford the real thing.

I like these clothes. They are pretty, colorful and wearable by a wide variety of women, and not just anorexic Russian adolescents. I liked these clothes last year when Marc Jacobs presented them… or am I all wrong there? Could I have mistaken that hat?

I agree - they’re simple and stylish and I love the colors!

Judith, these make me wish I were young and thin again.

@Jane:

Some of them demand that, but many will look wonderful on ladies “in carne.” The illustration I used is not so different from outfits I have had over the years. I just didn’t look like that in it!

Some of them were pretty. I don’t think it would hurt to be thin to wear these.

It never hurts to be slim when wearing any clothes, but thin I think is different. I saw someone the other day who was cadaverous. It would be very difficult to find something flattering to her other than perhaps pancakes and waffles.

When your knees are wider than your thighs, see a doctor!

LOL. Can I just say your above comment on knees wider than thighs is hilarious. I mean, I know you are talking about me and all…

These clothes are cute.
