Quoted: Oscar de la Renta on Downsizing His NYFW Invite List
elle fashion  Photo: Getty Images  “When you do megashows, it
loses the reason of why we’re showing. [Anyone can] see the show
on the Internet 20 minutes later. It’s important for [certain
industry professionals] to look at the clothes and see them.
They shouldn’t have to go through 30,000 people, and 10,000 who
are trying to take pictures of all of those people who are
totally unrelated to the clothes. I feel [inviting a more
targeted audience] is the most manageable way and the most
civilized way. Why have 20 million people with zero connection
to the clothes?” —Oscar de la Renta {WWD}
