Designer of the...Year?

Sorry! It's been over a year since I last posted, so I'm going to now.


Oscar de la Renta


Óscar Aristides de la Renta Fiallo (born July 22, 1932) is one of the world's leading fashion designers. Trained by Cristóbal Balenciaga and Antonio Castillo, he became internationally known in the 1960s as one of the couturiers to dress Jacqueline Kennedy. An award-winning designer, he worked for Lanvin and Balmain; his eponymous fashion house continues to dress leading figures, from film stars to royalty, into the 2010s. De La Renta is particularly known for his red carpet gowns and evening wear.
