About the Item
This elegant white-on-cream jacket is destined for a special occasion. Every inch of it is embellished with intricate patterns of round, bugle, flower and pearl beads, silk knots, and crystals. It sparkles and shines with every movement. The front of the jacket features an elaborate paisley motif, beginning at the shoulders and traversing down the front and back, drawing the eye in and making the wearer appear slim and chic. In the back, the paisley forms a v from the shoulders, and an inverted v from the hips, again assisting in the illusion of an hourglass figure. The rest of the jacket has an elaborate beaded latticework pattern, with a pearl affixed to each intersection. The entire jacket is bordered in a minute latticework bead treatment that echoes the larger lattice on the body.
The jacket itself is a simple, flattering design with set shoulders, a slight flare from the waist and ending in two points at the front. The back of the jacket is equally simple in design, the better to allow the beadwork to show its elegant artistry.
This jacket would be perfect with flowy white palazzo pants for a bride's festive second wedding, or with black tuxedo pants and a black tank underneath for a showstopping cocktail ensemble. The quality of beading and stitching is absolutely breathtaking. The right woman is going to adore wearing this jacket, and the right man is going to adore her in it.
This is truly the finest collection of embroidered garments that I have seen in my thirty years in the fashion business. The museum-quality handwork can only be described as breathtaking. It is rendered with extraordinary care and quality. The word “couture” is vastly overused in today’s fashion terminology, but these pieces represent the very finest workmanship of haute couture that was available in the world, the last glorious era of “les petits mains.” The quality of embroidery could only be attributed to Lesage.
These pieces are labeled “Oscar de la Renta,” who designed them for one of his most discerning clients of the 1980’s. This was the era when he was also the designer for the prestigious haute couture house of Balmain in Paris. The French influence and attention to detail is unmistakable in the design and manufacture of these remarkable pieces.

Oscar De La Renta
Oscar de la Renta was not just a designer for the ages but a designer for women of all ages — from Hollywood starlets to silver-haired doyennes, from fashion icons (Sarah Jessica Parker) to iconic brides (Amal Alamuddin Clooney), from leading ladies of hip-hop (Nicki Minaj) to First Ladies of the United States (Jacqueline Kennedy all the way through to Michelle Obama). The secret to his broad and enduring appeal? “I have always thought that my role as a designer is to do the very best I can for a woman,” de la Renta told 1stDibs in a 2010 profile.
And for de la Renta, doing the very best meant making a woman feel beautiful, glamorous and full of confidence, whether she was walking down the red carpet or a crowded city street. "You carry the clothes, the clothes don't carry you," he went on to say in our story.
A perennial favorite on 1stDibs, Oscar de la Renta designs evolved over the years, as the large selection of items below attests, but whether bolero or ball gown, vintage or current, the pieces exude elegant sophistication and enduring originality — much like the man himself.
