These stamps were issued on 16 February 2017, to honour one of the world’s leading fashion designers for 50 years, Oscar de la Renta (1932-2014). The stamp set includes 11 images: an evocative black-and-white portrait of de la Renta and 10 details from some of his most exquisite gowns.
These stamps are big and have a special soft touch. I think they look wonderful in person, like on these envelopes sent by Phillip.
I have received different combinations of them (see the whole set here), on several postcards and letters, and still don't know which one I prefer...
I am adding this post for the letter O of Sunday Stamps-II.
Those are very special stamps, both the subject and the designs, and I think them beautiful!
ReplyDeleteA lot of fashion on our envelopes, lately ;)
DeleteI like the added Edith Wharton and jewellery combination. Material design and stamps always work well.
ReplyDeleteYou can always combine an elegant dress with an elegant jewel, I guess.
DeleteI confess that I have never heard of Oscar de la Renta but anyone would admire these designs.
ReplyDeleteI'm not into fashion, but these stamps are really a good work of design.
DeleteI am not really into fashion, but these stamps are fabulous! I love the subtle touch they have! The blue one is my favourite, most probably cos it is my favourite colour :)
ReplyDeleteThe touch is wonderful, almost fabric. Too difficult to choose a favourite among these...
DeleteI would never have thought about these stamps for today. I can confirm that they look even better in person than they do in online scans.
ReplyDeleteOn the contrary, I thought you would do!
DeleteI have seen the black and white photo stamp, I did not know there were textile and fashion stamps. Wow, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThey are very original, aren't they?
