His fall 2008 collection had all the gentile panache one associates with Oscar:
dimpled brocade skirts with subtle volume and amethyst silk shirts anchored with
alligator belts; granite herring bone coats, splendid sheath dresses in
phantasmagorical flower prints covered in light mesh; emerald jacquard cocktails
with big bows.
His best work was the finale – va va vroom ruffled columns in burgundy and sky
at night black. Class with a soupcon of naughty suggestiveness was the leitmotiv
of this collection.
