More Oscar



 
















The Glamour and Romance of Oscar de la Renta," on view through Jan. 28 at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, follows a larger retrospective that ran last year at San Francisco's de Young Museum and a 2015 show at the Savannah College of Art and Design. De la Renta died of cancer at the age of 82 in October 2014.
Veteran fashion writer Andre Leon Talley curated each show at the request of Annette de la Renta, Oscar's widow, and his daughter and son-in-law, Eliza and Alex Bolen, who have run the company for more than 20 years. 


Fashion historians Molly Sorkin and Jennifer Park, whom Talley says de la Renta adored, helped to organize the shows.
