Oscar de la Renta presents pre-fall 2008

Oscar de la Renta just may be our dream designer. That designer whose store we would go to if we had a Pretty Woman moment. And his pre-fall 2008 collection presented Monday night in a Park Avenue church really illustrates why. The shapes and looks are simultaniously aspirational, wearable, and artistically pleasing. While there were a few misses - awkwardly shaped wool knit yetti skirts with large leaf patterns - it is amazing how within a 63 look collection de la Renta manages to really work several different themes to winning success in each. The florals, the tweeds, the circle skirts and the slimmer silhouettes - they're all beautiful. What do we take away from this for fall?

More pictures after the jump.

There are shapes to flatter every figure - slim, model types can stick to long, lean silhouettes while curvy girls go for full skirts. Florals and a polished look will continue to be fashionable, and we can keep belting everything! Just don't try to mimick the exact belt proportions if your figure is a little fuller, always cinch where it's most flattering on you regardless of the runways.
