Casual Luxury | Moises de la Renta for Mango

By Jessica

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.

Last week, MANGO presented their Spring 2010 collection on the runways in Madrid. Scrumptious knits, safari-esque jackets and 6-inch wedges stole the show. While Fall may have just taken over our closets, consumers world-wide are already preparing for the warmer seasons ahead.

Named “Pure Light,” the Spring collection embraces all that is wonderful with airy colors and modern flair.

The ultimate Spanish design house, MANGO is popular around the world, with over 1,000 stores in 92 countries. In 2007, actress Penelope Cruz and her sister, Monica, designed a 25-piece collection that helped brand the label as a global company.

Also in MANGO news, Scarlett Johansson has paired with the company yet again for a year-long ad campaign. Stating that she loves MANGO, Johannson finds the brand perfect for everyday living, at home or abroad.

“I see MANGO as a casual firm, with lots of combinations of garments, fresh and youthful,” declared Johannson in a recent MANGO press event.
