Behind the Scenes of [the breathtaking] Oscar de la Renta

Today during Fashion is Freedom office hours, I must've sat in front of the computer looking at Oscar de la Renta wedding dresses for about an hour.. Don't ask me why! After looking at one, it became addicting. I've recently started telling my followers to pay close attention to color, texture and emotion because as Project Runway would say, it all counts. And while taking my own advice, the craftsmanship of Oscar de la Renta gowns is almost unreal. Every piece of every collection [not just bridal] is put together so succinctly and so ornate. Oscar de la Renta is a true creator of beauty, and his work will forever remain iconic.

The "idea board" so to speak, at Oscar de la Renta headquarters. I guess this is how creation is born! Good old fashioned polaroids are truly inspiring. Even to a man as great as Oscar.

The iconic labels are ready to be sewn onto clothes! I hope to one day have a whole section of my closet with clothes that have labels just like these. ODLR's signature is perfect!

The simplest things are ingredients to perfection and Oscar de la Renta is a perfect example of this. I'm happy I took the time today to glance through countless collections and come upon these [breathtaking] images. For more on Oscar, check out Oscar PR Girl, a tumblr created by one of Oscar's talented employees! She provides lots of tasteful pictures from office shots to outfit shots! And all photo credit from this post is owed to her. Did Oscar take your breath away?

In awe [once again]
