Oscar de la Renta
was the godfather of New York high society fashion, spanning generations of
women of taste and style. jBefore Oscar,
New York’s designers bought patterns from French couturiers and put the names
of their stores inside any clothes. Oscar changed that, becoming a
fully-fledged designer in his own right. His signatures – light, refined and
ultra-feminine – have since become the epitome of Uptown elegance: all-American
in their consideration for the wearer but with an eye for softness and
sophisticated surface embellishment that rivals the great French couture
houses.’
