Big news out of Bryant Park: Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia, Oscar de la Renta’s co-creative directors since 2016, are leaving the business to focus on their 10-year-old ready-to-wear label, Monse. Oscar de la Renta employees were notified of the change this afternoon. As part of the transition, Kim and Garcia, who are shareholders in the ODLR business, will be granted one seat on the company’s board of directors. Their final collection, Autumn/Winter 2026, will be released next February; they’ll also design a Pre-Fall collection for the brand’s 60th anniversary celebration in the Colonial City of Santo Domingo this December.
