The collection will offer an eclectic sensibility with unique prints, weaves, embroideries and wallpaper.

Oscar De La Renta and Lee Jofa have announced their latest collaboration, which will build upon the success of their first two collections. The third collection will expand the brand’s signature style with 11 new designs.
“In developing this collection, I went back to Oscar’s love of textiles and the inspiration that he so often drew from cultures around the world – in particular, India and the Dominican Republic,” said Carolina Irving, creative director of Oscar de la Renta Home, who developed the collection. “There are tropical patterns but they are crafted to feel more like a 19th century French toile than a tropical pattern, a mix that is quintessentially Oscar and that I think he would have loved.”
Oscar De La Renta III will be available this spring at Lee Jofa showrooms and through the Lee Jofa network of licensed representatives.
