RIP to a Legend; Oscar de la Renta

If you are at all interested in fashion, I am sure that you have heard by now that Oscar do la Renta died yesterday.  Details of his death are still unknown but what is known, is that at 82, he was a legend.

De la Renta has been a symbol of elegance, grace, femininity, and glamour since 1965 when he launched his brand.  He has dressed celebrities, royalty, and political figures, along with "successful working women" for nearly 50 years.



I have never worn anything Oscar de la Renta, but I really think that any woman that wears one of his creations must feel like a princess.  His gowns have such style and structure.



He dressed icons such as Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy, two of the most memorable style icons of the previous century and his work has carried over to be a symbol of elegance into this century.  He will truly be missed.



Peter Copping was appointed as the Creative Director last week and I look forward to seeing him continue on the sophistication associated with the brand.
