Oscar de la Renta

Dominican-born Oscar de la Renta started as a fashion illustrator before assisting lead designers at major European houses like Balenciaga and Lanvin. In 1965 he established his own label in New York City and it quickly gained traction among the country’s elite. His instantly recognizable design aesthetic is reflected in the work of current co-creative directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia. Each collection embraces modern femininity with a cosmopolitan sophistication that perfectly blends American sportswear with European couture.
