Most people would shy away from designing if their father was one of the most recognizable names in Fashion. Not Moises de la Renta. The adopted son of Fashion legend, Oscar de la Renta, Moises is boldly carving his own path in the industry and making a name for himself in the process.

After interning with Oscar de la Renta and Phat Farm, the 25-year old designer launched his own clothing line, MDLR, to rave reviews. Ranging from a Swiss-dot hoodie to a biker jacket with removable sleeves, MDLR’s premiere collection (shown above) displayed elegance, exuberance and a dose of unstudied hipster cool. The excellent craftsmanship and modern point-of-view won de la Renta a bevy of famous fans, including Mrs. Michelle Obama, who wore his custom-made sheath to a White House function.

In a shrewd business move, de la Renta is uniting his luxurious aesthetic with the Spanish sportswear brand, Mango. The result? Relaxed tees adorned with opulent embellishments like stones, jewels and even tulle. “My inspiration for this collection were the traditional romantic themes: from pretty patchworks with summer flowers in somber colors, such as rose, violet, grey and black, to graphic illusions which combine transparent effects, with shiny gems and adornments in between,” said de la Renta.

Moises de la Renta’s limited edition collection for Mango ranges from $36-50 and launches on March 1, 2010.
