De la Renta Leaves Tents, Gets Exclusive With Uptown Venue

Women's Wear Daily broke the news today that Oscar de la Renta will not be showing his spring collection at the Bryant Park tents this September. Instead, the designer will show at 583 Park Avenue, the renovated church on the Upper East Side. (De la Renta apparently fell for the space earlier this year when he used it for his 2008 resortwear presentation.)

Management for the space confirmed not only that the presentation will take place there during Fashion Week, but also that the venue will not permit any other design house to host shows. "There will be no other fashion shows here, except for Mr. de la Renta's,"  Louis Rose said today.
