Karen Katz remarked this is the third time for Oscar de la Renta's fashions to be showcased at the Crystal Charity luncheon - Wouldn't that make him eligible for the Hall of Fame? |
|
Pamela Fiori said she was very pleased to see so many women wearing Oscar -
She loves the gracious hospitality of Dallas and the good looking women... "In Dallas, you have your own clothes, jewelry and men. In New York, they have borrowed clothes, jewelry and men!" And while she loves New York, especially on this day, she said,"It's so nice to be in a place where people buy their clothes and don't bring them back."
