"good balance and common sense"

I hadn't realized Oscar de la Renta passed away last week.

This Google image exemplifies what I think of in connection with Oscar de la Renta.  That full skirt, so much like something Cinderella wore to the ball. We know just what she wore to that ball, don't we?

Here's Emma Watson in a de la Renta gown - look at that skirt!

 Never, ever confuse what happens on a runway with fashion. A runway is spectacle. It's only fashion when a woman puts it on. Being well dressed hasn't much to do with having good clothes. It's a question of good balance and common sense.
