Beginning July 19, "Oscar de la Renta: Five Decades of Style" will be on view at the George W. Bush Presidential Center. It will mark the second presidential venue for de la Renta's fashion—last year the exhibit was shown at the William J. Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock—but it will be bigger, with 60-plus mannequins showcasing day and evening styles worn by First Ladies Laura Bush, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Nancy Reagan; Bush daughters Barbara and Jenna, including Jenna's wedding dress; Texas fashion icons like Mercedes Bass and Lynn Wyatt; and various celebrities.
