“WE SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE” is what Peter Copping said of himself and Oscar de la Renta. Both designers favour the elegant, glamorous and feminine, as shown by the photographs of the label’s fall campaign featuring the beautiful Carolyn Murphy. There were satin and velvet cocktail dresses, opera gloves in the most exquisite shade of coral, and of course, the sweeping ball gown that stole our hearts away. One can only imagine the soft rustle of the taffeta, the smooth feel of the fabric, and the elation after tying the bustier of the dress and finishing last minute touch-ups, for what awaits is a magical night at a ball in a French château or villa in Lake Como. —Victoria
