Taking a moment to recognize the loss of an extraordinary man. The fashion world will forever be changed because of Oscar de la Renta and his influence on design.
Aside from his undeniably brilliant collections, his admiration for a confident woman who knows who she is and what she wants will continue to inspire.
It is so special when a fashion designer comes around and not only radically shapes the way design is done, but also has a message for his consumer. Oscar de la Renta was not merely a man looking to sell a dress to a lady for her event, he was an artist, creating a piece for a woman who was going to feel empowered, brilliant, and radiant in the dress she wore. He was a designer for the modern day Cinderella. He knew exactly who he was designing for, and he delivered jaw-dropping pieces in a way that will forever be with the designers who were influenced by his style, and will never stop inspiring the women who aspire to be graced with one of his designs.
