Phantse iminyaka emibini e-Oscar de la Renta, iimeko zobuqu zifuna ndibuyele eYurophu, wabhala uCopping kwingxelo. Ndiyalithanda ixesha lam eNew York apho ndinethemba lokubuya ngexesha elizayo. Yayikukuhamba okumangalisayo.
Koko kufanelekileyo, ukungena kukaCopping kwindawo ephezulu yokuyila kwi-brand kwakusenzeka ngokukhawuleza. Emuva ngo-2014, owayesakuba ngumlawuli wokuyila u-Nina Ricci wangena kwi-brand ukuze asebenze ecaleni kwe-la Renta, ngesicwangciso sokugqibela sokuyithatha. Xa u-de la Renta wasweleka kamva kwinyanga leyo, loo mzuzu wawushukunyiswa ngokumangalisayo.

Lilonke, ingqokelela yeCopping ifunyenwe ngobumnene. Ukuphonononga kwalatha emsebenzini wakhe kwiiqoqo zokutshata zabatshati njengamanqaku aphezulu, njengoko umyili wayetsala nzima ukufumana inyawo lakhe ngokulungela ukunxiba uphawu. U-de la Renta owayebambekile, wayengekho, kodwa wakwazi ukuzisa abantu abadumileyo abanjengoDiane Kruger noSienna Miller, ababenxibe iilokhwe zakhe bobabini.
Ukuhamba kukaCopping kuza kwinto evakala ngathi yeyokuqengqeleka kweenguqu kwishishini. Njengezithuba ezinjengeendawo zokuyila eziphezulu kuCalvin Klein zihlala zingenabantu, amarhe malunga nolunye uphawu ayanda. Nangona begcwalise nje i-helm eChristian Dior nge UValentino kaMaria Grazia Chiuri , I-LVMH kutsha nje inyanzelwe ukuba iphikise amarhe okuba uNicolas Ghesquière uzakushiya uLouis Vuitton. Inkampani iqinisekisile ukuba ikhontrakthi yomyili waseFrance iphela ngo-Novemba ka-2018, ethetha ukuba baya kuyibona ikhontrakthi, ubuncinci. Ngokwala marhe, ukuba uGhesquiere wayesele emkile, uJonathan Anderson, umlawuli oyilayo kaLoewe kunye negama lakhe, u-JW Anderson wayelandelayo emgceni.

Akukho mntu uxelelayo ukuba ngubani onokulungiselela umsebenzi we-la la Renta ngoku. Umphathi omkhulu u-Alex Bolen ubonakala ngathi ucebisa ukuba inkampani izakugxila kumaqela abo angaphakathi endlwini ngelixesha besithi besisoloko sikushishino lokwenza iimpahla kwaye ezimbini zezona mpahla zethu zi studio kunye noyilo lwethu. Uqhubeke wathi: Iqela lethu liza kuqhubeka nokusebenza kwingqokelela yexesha elizayo lijolise kwinqanaba lokudodobala kunye nobugcisa obuzimpawu zendlu yethu. Simnqwenelela impumelelo uPeter.
Akunakulindeleka ukuba uphawu lutyhalele ixesha elide ngaphandle komlawuli woyilo. Ngokudabukisayo, ngelixa ukhetho lwethu oluphezulu (olwenzeka ukuba ziialum ezimbini zikaOscar de la Renta) alugcini nje ngokuxhasa ilebheli yeMonse abayenzileyo, kodwa bakwanjalousebenza ngokusisigxina eCarolina Herrera. Bobabini uLaura Kim noFernando Garcia bathathe iprojekthi eyongezelelweyo ngoFebruwari.
Lixesha kuphela eliza kuxela ukuba ileyibhile inokuya kweliphi icala.
