Oscar de la Renta Exhibit Opens at Bush Library in Dallas

The Bush Library in Dallas, Texas just got a little bit more fashionable with the help of Oscar de la Renta and Laura Bush.

64 mannequins are now on show at the year-ancient library, donning the best looks from fashion designer Oscar de la Renta from the past five decades in the Oscar de la Renta: Five Decades of Style show.

“Mrs. [Laura] Bush came up with the thought of doing a show at the Bush Library and, of course, we embraced the thought,” the designer clarified, according to WWD. “I dressed her all through the years she was in the White Household, and she is an unbelievably lovely and wonderful lady, so I was very proud to help her in any way I could.”

The show is a progeny off from the show last year that took place at the William J. Clinton Presidential Library in Small Rock, Ark., which lasted for six months and attracted over 250,000 visitors.

The impressive exhibit showcases stunning evening wear dating back to 1967.

Anchoring the centre of the room are 14 different looks that have been donned by first ladies Bush, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Nancy Reagan.
