Oscar de la Renta, who is quite well-known for his elegant designs, lived up to his reputation with dress after dress being absolutely pristine and classic at New York fashion week. The Jackie O. sunglasses matched perfectly with the preppy prints, clean silhouettes, and a coral shaped necklace Our favorite piece was a 1950’s style red and pink floral frock with a tight bodice and flared skirt that in our opinion, stole the show. We think a leisurely stroll along the shoreline looking for seashells in this dress would be absolutely divine, n’est-ce pas? From belted one-piece swim suits to sweeping evening gowns, Oscar has got all of you Hampton and Cape Cod beach babes covered.

Poor Suede, we’ll miss you and are sorry you got the axe! As Season 5 of Project Runway is coming to a close, we were ready to see Kenley go this episode, just as we were ready for Joe Faris to leave last time. She’s sticking around for at least another week, quite true to Project Runway‘s motif of keeping “the drama” around until the end. No one though, should ever disrespect dear Tim Gunn, and for that alone, we were ready to see Kenley pack up and head out. Although Korto is wildly talented, it just seemed also that Jerrell had this challenge in the bag as the winner– what happened?? Stay tuned for more “ins and outs” of Project Runway, and for the time being, check out the fabulous coverage of the five finalists’ shows at Bryant Park, compliments of Nitrolicious.com.

With an almost completely stark white color palette that eventually delved into champagne, beige, and silver, Francisco Costa’s Calvin Klein collection let the shape of his garments do the talking this season. Shoulders harked back to a ‘80s padded aesthetic, and while some dresses were boxy, others looked as if they were simply draped sheets –- a pure ode to minimalism! Still, we felt the pieces were innovative and most definitely a work of modern art. It was refreshing to see a designer play with new proportions, instead of recycling old one, any easy move to do, considering the archive trove at Calvin Klein. We were most intrigued by a white cocktail dress whose straps looked they were carefully twisted into a 3-D triangle on one side, and a cube on the other.
