For one, the first half of the collection was cohesive—red, white and black worked in florals, graphics, solid knit ruffles and lots of eyelet and lace. And it was followed up by a melange global print that worked in paisley and other motifs that ODLR loved. And because the Oscar client is ageless, there were youthful bandeaus and cropped tops paired with long pants and bohemian skirts, as well as trim sheaths, safari suits and day dresses.

One of the prettiest moments was all the white lace and eyelet, a visual palette cleanser for the lady who loves fashion and loves Oscar. It took on an elevated hippie chic spirit in long-sleeved, midi and longer dresses. And those with the black sashes and belts felt like ethereal looks pulled from Picnic at Hanging Rock.

Evening, where the brand still has a foothold on women’s wardrobes brought out the various silhouettes and finishes. All pretty and glamorous, but not telling the complete story the way the first half did.

But with a fire red strapless knee-length dress, covered in pleated frills, that was paired with flat sandals, the design team was ushering in a new age at ODLR. Or at least the promise of it. From here, the ruffle and tulle are in Kim and Garcia’s court.
