Florals for fall was the big message at Oscar de la Renta's pre-Fall 2008 collection, which the designer showed to an audience of press, buyers and socialites on Park Avenue in New York .
Large flower prints in strong colors such as red, green teal and yellow were splashed across the designer's signature feminine frocks and knee-length skirts with soft, voluminous folds and ballooning shapes. Elsewhere, the floral theme took on a modernist twist with an abstract tulip print day dress.
