From Oscar de la Renta's Fall/Winter 1991/1992 Collection. According to an email from the donor: "The dress I donated was an original one [Oscar de la Renta] made for his Fashion Show, a sample piece which he later gave me after I was able to wear it to a black tie event in New York. My husband worked with him on a fragrance."]]> Cocktail dress (Object ID #2013.02.04)]]> Oscar de la Renta exhibit]]>
