A Star-Spangled, Star-Studded Met Gala: Anna Wintour, the big boss of Met Gala — and chief content officer and global editorial director of Vogue — arrives in a floral Oscar de la Renta gown. The fabric was created from Tricia Paoluccio's licensed artwork: Euphoria.

Tricia Paoluccio is featured in this fashion roundup of NYFW. Barry Samaha writes, “The duo’s collection was filled with motifs that spark joy, urging their customers to, simply put, dress up. A fitted, long-sleeve mini dress, for example, was made with pressed floral appliqués that were created by artist Tricia Paoluccio.”

Laura Kim of Oscar de la Renta explains, “Tricia went to her family farm in April [during lockdown] and she pressed all these flowers for three months while there. We tried to press it ourselves, but it was a disaster! We started doing pressed flowers because we wanted it to be memories from the spring. At Oscar, we always do floral because that’s the DNA of the brand.”
V Magazine
Author Kevin Ponce writes, “With a penchant for botany and a passion to create, [Oscar de la Renta] managed to bring the outdoors indoors, in the most grandiose way imaginable. Created in collaboration with artist Tricia Paoluccio, having gathered and pressed a variety of floral species to create something out of a treasured scrapbook, the collection seems to signify a modern take on naturistic glamour.”
Fashion Week Daily
Author Freya Drohan writes, “The botanical-influenced collection, a collaboration with artist Tricia Paoluccio, is a smorgasbord of textures and smile-inducing hues: multi-colored floral appliqué, prints rendered in threadwork embroidery or executed on taffeta, tulle, and cotton frocks, bell sleeve crochet that makes us want to book a trip to anywhere, plus brand signatures like tailored separates in pastel shades, billowing ballgowns, and a cascading bustier over slim-fitting trousers.”
Fashionista
Author Ana Colon writes, “co-creative directors Fernando Garcia and Lauren Kim worked with Tricia Paoluccio to reinterpret her pressed flower artwork into a collection of day dresses, separates, and gowns…The end result is ‘a tribute to late summer, when sunflowers and wildflowers radiate in glorious full bloom.’”
