Flashback: Remembering legendary fashion designer Oscar de la Renta

In love with these glamorous evening gowns of legendary fashion designer Oscar de la Renta (1932 - 2014): elegance, style and feminity at top. Below are some designs from his collection from F/W 2012 RTW. I could not resist to publish this blogpost again (I posted it already in May 2012). We still miss him ..... Be Inspired. 

More from an interview with 1stDibs in 2010:

Oscar de la Renta was not just a designer for the ages but a designer for women of all ages - from Hollywood starlets to silver-haired doyennes, from fashion icons (Sarah Jessica Parker) to iconic brides (Amal Alamuddin Clooney), from leading ladies of hip-hop (Nicki Minaj) to First Ladies of the United States. The secret to his broad and enduring appeal? “I have always thought that my role as a designer is to do the very best I can for a woman,” De la Renta told 1stDibs in a 2010 profile. And for De la Renta, doing the very best meant making a woman feel beautiful, glamorous and full of confidence, whether she was walking down the red carpet or a crowded city street. "You carry the clothes, the clothes don't carry you," he went on to say in the story of 1st Dibs.
