Oscar de la Renta didn’t mark its 60th anniversary by looking inward—it went home. For Pre-Fall 2026, the house staged a landmark runway show in Santo Domingo’s Colonial City, choosing the historic Fortaleza Ozama as both venue and emotional anchor. The location was a reminder that before Oscar de la Renta became synonymous with red carpets and society dressing, his story began here.
The evening opened quietly, with a short film reflecting on the brand’s history, before shifting into something far more visceral. An all-Dominican cast took the runway to a live performance of Ravel’s Boléro by the Dominican National Symphony Orchestra—a slow build that mirrored the weight of the moment.
What followed was less after-party, more experience. Guests moved through a series of immersive spaces inspired by Oscar’s personal retreats across the Dominican Republic, punctuated by live performances and thoughtful details that leaned into culture rather than excess. The night felt layered—fashion, music, food, and memory unfolding in conversation with one another.
Under Co-Creative Directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia, the Pre-Fall collection translated that spirit into clothes that felt warm, tactile, and grounded. Hand-painted landscapes, sun-faded earth tones, palm motifs, and rich textures nodded to the island without veering into costume. It was a collection rooted in place, but designed to live well beyond it.
Sixty years in, Oscar de la Renta reminded us that legacy isn’t about repeating the past—it’s about remembering where you come from, and choosing to honor it forward.
