DK Display Corp is proud to supply Schläppi 2200 mannequins for the de Young Museum’s new exhibition, "Oscar de la Renta: The Retrospective." This world-premiere event honors one of fashion’s most influential designers. The exhibition runs from March 12th to May 30th, 2016 at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, California.

A Landmark Fashion Exhibition

"Oscar de la Renta: The Retrospective" celebrates the life and legacy of Oscar de la Renta. The exhibition features more than 130 garments spanning five decades of his career. Each piece highlights his exceptional craftsmanship, eye for detail, and cultural impact.

Curated by André Leon Talley, former editor-at-large of Vogue, the exhibition gives visitors a personal view into de la Renta’s work. Talley’s long friendship with de la Renta adds depth to the exhibit, offering insights only someone close to the designer could provide.

A Journey Through Fashion History

The retrospective follows Oscar de la Renta’s rise from his early days in Spain, where he first gained commissions, to his leadership roles in the world’s top fashion houses. The exhibition also highlights his long-standing role as a designer for many of the world’s most influential figures.

Garments are divided into thematic sections. These include:

• Early work

• Spanish, Eastern, and Russian influences

• Garden-inspired designs

• Daywear and eveningwear

• Ball gowns and red carpet ensembles

The display also includes pieces from the designer’s personal archives, private collectors, and the Fine Arts Museums’ costume collection. Visitors will experience how de la Renta merged cultural references with couture craftsmanship, creating timeless designs worn by first ladies, celebrities, and royalty.
