Oscar is not cutting back...

Backstage Oscar de la Renta said "sometimes you plant and sometimes you weed. This is a weeding time", he said referring to the economy, "but it's also a time of opportunity". Doomsday talk or not, de la Renta doesn't plan on cutting back a whole lot. There were as many party dresses as ever, lots of embroidered sets, feathers and gold. It was very Oscar!
