Oscar de la Renta is recognized globally as the embodiment of elegance and sophistication.
While an art student in Madrid,
he provided sketches for leading Spanish fashion houses
and apprenticed with the revered couturier Balenciaga.
After a short tenure with the House of Lanvin in Paris,
he headed for New York to launch his own couture collection.
Today, the world of Oscar de la Renta features
Ready-to-Wear, Couture, Jewelry, Lingerie, Accessories, Menswear and Fragrance.

For Fall 2010, Oscar de la Renta was talking about gardening.
"Sometimes you plant and sometimes you weed. This is a weeding time," he said, referring to the economy.
"But it's also a time of opportunity."
The message being, doomsday talk or not, de la Renta doesn't plan on cutting back a whole lot.
There were as many embroidered party dresses as ever,
in black and white sequins and beading, irridescent feathers, and gold-stitched beige nubby fabrications.

The giddy exuberance of the runway show was somewhat reminiscent of the 1980's.
"We're trying to help the consumer get excited again," de la Renta said.
It would probably be churlish to chide him for that.
