Love is not something to only be celebrated on a single
day each year. It is something to be embraced and expressed every day before
the moment passes you by.
For centuries, love has been shared through the written
word. Words of longing, hope and desire have filled countless pages in love letters.
Whether they are words of love to a friend, soulmate or family member, a letter
has the power to immortalize feelings of admiration and caring.
“You still fascinate and inspire me. You influence me for
the better. You’re the object of my desire, the number one earthly reason for
my existence.” –Johnny Cash to June Carter
“The charms of the incomparable Josephine kindle
continually a burning and a glowing flame in my heart…I thought that I loved
you months ago, but since my separation from you I feel that I love you a
thousand fold more. Each day since I knew you, have I adored you more and
more.” –Napoleon Bonapart to Josephine de Beauharnais
This season, designers Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia put
their love of Oscar de la Renta directly on the fabrics of the Spring 2018
collection.
The name of the late designer graces the fabrics in a
cursive-like script. Paired with hearts and the colors of love, the collection is
like a walking love letter to the designer and the brand he created.
The
romance, elegance and beauty lives on in this celebration of Oscar de la Renta.
