  • And the Oscar Goes To
    SOCIETY & CULTURE Oscar de la Renta with Spanish socialite and exhibits former fashion model Naty Abascal in the 1960s. AND THE OSCAR GOES TO... As the Museum of Fine Arts pays tribute to prolific fashion designer Oscar de la Renta, local style icons look back on his impact on both their lives and the world. By Michele Meyer The first major fashion exhibit at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston began with one phone call, when philanthropist Lynn Wyatt rang up Museum Director Gary Tinterow. Having seen a tribute to the late, great Oscar de la Renta at San Francisco’s de Young museum, Wyatt believed Houston should stage its own showcase of the dapper designer. After all, he’d often visited our city and had clad not only Audrey Hepburn, Taylor Swift, Oprah Winfrey and every first lady of the United States—from Nancy Reagan to Michelle Obama— but also many local fashionistas, Wyatt among them. Needless to say, Tinterow agreed. Rest assured that the resulting exhibit, The Glamour and Romance of Oscar de la Renta—on view through Jan. 28—is no knock-off. Not only did de la Renta’s heirs and French label Pierre Balmain share corporate and personal archives, but some of Houston’s best-dressed denizens opened their own closets to the MFA. Each section features gorgeous garb loaned by Wyatt; former Mayor Bob Lanier’s wife, Elyse Lanier; fine arts patron Rosanette Cullen; anesthesiologist Yvonne Cormier; and former first lady Laura Bush. “He told me he had a special affection for the women of Houston because they had style and wore their clothes beautifully,” Cormier says.

The problem is on the rise and many designers are taking hits due to the frequency and success of the culprits. While large retailers such as Forever 21, Zara, Topshop and H&M are soaring, many young designers are struggling to survive.

    THE FABSCRAP ANNUAL REPORT 2019 THE FABSCRAP ANNUAL REPORT 2019 TABLE OF CONTENTS Mission 1. SERVICE Press|Social Media Founder’s Note 2. COMMUNTY Financials Team | Board 3. RESOURCE Acknowledgements Highlights MISSION FABSCRAP endeavors to end commercial textile “waste.” To maximize the value of unused fabric, FABSCRAP is a convenient and transparent Service, is an affordable and accessible materials Resource, and is educating and empowering a Community of changemakers. FOUNDERS’ NOTE WELCOME TO THE FABSCRAP SHOP! At our Team Days in January, we casually discussed the idea that maybe we should explore opening a retail location in Manhattan. The dream was a fabric thrift shop! Near the garment district and design schools! Polished in all the ways the warehouse shopping experience is not! And in true FABSCRAP fashion, the idea led to action. By February we’d found a great location and signed a lease. What followed in March, April, and May was a labor of love. We welcomed Lindsey Troop to the FAB Team to help us open and run the Shop. Everyone we knew was recruited to renovate a nail salon into a new, convenient source for sustainable materials. Together we knocked down walls, chose lighting, painted, swept and mopped the dusty basement. We created shelves, built displays, and designed graphics for the walls. The night before we opened was a late one - finally adding all the fabric and getting every detail right - but still, every single member of the FAB team was there. We’re so proud of what we created! And we hoped everyone would love it too.
