  • 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.

It’s great to be a student again—the preparation for class, the butterflies if you get asked a question, the intellectual exchange of ideas—but, wait, I am the teacher! And I am not teaching one of my comfortable legal writing courses; I am teaching professional responsibility.
