"  Carolina Irving has been named the Creative Director of Home at Oscar de la Renta, stepping in to the company to oversee the collection that spands gift and entertaining pieces, furniture, fabrics, wallpaper, and rugs. &amp;quot;I am incredibly excited to work with Oscar,&amp;quot; says Irving, who currently has her own fabric collection, and writes the &amp;quot;In the Air&amp;quot; column for T magazine. &amp;quot;His style is iconic; if any fashion designer has legitimacy to do home, it&amp;#039;s Oscar. He has the most fantastic sense of color and scale.&amp;quot; It seems the feeling is mutual. Says de la Renta, &amp;quot;I can think of no better person than Carolina to continue to develop our Home collection. Her taste is fabulous.&amp;quot;  Irving&amp;#039;s predecessor, Miles Redd, is leaving to focus on his own interior design business, after doing &amp;quot;an excellent job,&amp;quot; as de la Renta puts it. &amp;quot;We will miss him tremendously.&amp;quot; While fans of the line will also miss Redd&amp;#039;s innovative patterns and hues, we trust that Irving will bring her own striking look to the collection. After all, she certainly has a wealth of inspiration to draw from. Irving, who comes from a Venezuelan family, was born in Miami, raised in Paris, and has spent time at The Louvre\u2014where she studied history of art\u2014House and Garden, and Vogue Living. We truly can&amp;#039;t wait to see her take on the collection, and raise a leopard wine glass to terrific success for her, de la Renta, and Redd.
