There are designers who make clothes then there are those that create masterpieces. Oscar de la Renta creations marveled the world and shone bright on superstars and red carpets.
His 8 year long battle with cancer ended on October 21, 2014 and he passed away at the age of 82. During the Paris Fashion Week this September, the house of Oscar de la Renta announced Peter Copping of Nina Ricci, as the next creative director for the brand.
De la Renta dedicated fifty years of his life to fashion becoming an influential name in the 1960s when he dressed Jacqueline Kennedy and had ever since dressed EVERY US First Lady including Nancy Reagan, Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush and Michelle Obama.
Oscar de la Renta was described by Vogue as “a man who for five-plus decades created exquisite clothes which have majestically sailed between the Old and New Worlds; European haute couture savoir faire and the beautifully dressed can-do optimism of the United States .”
Some of Oscar de la Renta’s most timeless outfits were seen on celebrities like Amal Alamuddin, Taylor Swift, Frieda Pinto, Sarah Jessica Parker, Gennifer Goodwin, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Adams, Jessica Biel, Kerry Washington and more.
