A tribute to Oscar De La Renta – Favourite designers

Hey Guys,

About a year ago I wrote this post about my favourite designer of the moment Lelia Shams and I don’t know why it was a one of post so when I woke up to the devastating news on Tuesday morning of De La Rentas passing I thought I could possibly continue this series and talk about one of my favourite designers.

To me and to many De La Renta was the king of fairy-tale ball gowns. It is clear in every design and quote that he loved woman he created dresses to make women feel amazing about themselves and to empower them. His work is so classic and feminine he knew how to dress a woman and show her personality. Every girl dreams of a De La  Renta dress and feeling like a princess.

De La Renta first found fame when working for the couturiers who dressed Jackie Kennedy. He then set up his own label in New York in 1965. His label has dressed the first ladies, the queens of film and screen and most recently he created Mrs. Clooneys wedding dress. There was even a Sex and the City episode dedicated to the designer.

So here I have picked out just a few of my favourite De La Renta pieces.

A little twist  on the something blue from his bridal range.
