Fashion : R.I.P Oscar de la Renta
Oscar de la Renta, the doyen of American fashion, whose career began in the 1950s in Franco’s Spain, sprawled across the better living rooms of Paris and New York, and who was the last survivor of that generation of bold, all-seeing tastemakers, died on Monday at his home in Kent, Conn. He was 82.
His death was confirmed by his wife, Annette de la Renta. The cause was complications from cancer. Though ill with cancer intermittently for close to eight years, Mr. de la Renta was resilient. During that period his business grew by 50 percent, to $150 million in sales, as his name became linked to celebrity events like the Oscars. Amy Adams, Sarah Jessica Parker and Penélope Cruz were among the actresses who wore his dresses.
For all fashion lovers and fashion professionals, it’s a pretty sad day today…
R.I.P Oscar!

So so sad! May he R.I.P.
He was big in the industry, his designs made Women look fantastic. He will live on in our minds, and on the runway.
He was the last one of his generation to define good taste and good clothes in their very core meaning… May he rest in peace and be remembered…
this world had lost fashion legand
gay men don’t have any comments on important matters,but something sexual over 100
I had no idea who he was. I thought it was just a typo of Oscar De La Hoya the boxer.
It is life, the man lived a rich and fruitful life. I am sure he had no regrets. How many people his age can say the same.
A mans man isn’t interested in women’s fashion, and why would we be? Guess it isn’t hard to figure out who the queens are here lol j/k
