With pieces like [luxe safari suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection) and [exotic patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lilly-reserve-collection), the Oscar de la Renta Spring 2010 ready to wear show at New York Fashion week looked like it could have come from the trunks of an affluent European vacation from decades gone by. It was a selection of clothes and accessories for the fashionably daring with a penchant for well-put-together ensembles.

"A vibrant teal safari suit updated with wide sleeves and cropped pants, a smart silk crepe dress with a draped neckline in pale melon, and a bronze linen twill trench with pushed-up sleeves stood out among white broderie anglaise and creamy tweeds," Style.com said.

From [fancy lion safari suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marie-oliver) to dresses that looked like they were made from a grandmother's lace curtains, the Oscar de la Renta Spring 2010 collection brimmed with eclectic looks from different lands.
