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.”

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.”

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.’”
