Although I have a real passion with fashion, I am not a fashion guru nor even a fashion
icon. But Oscar dela Renta is a name that moved fashion in a fast forward pace.
Too sad that the world of fashion lost another icon of style.
When you say Oscar dela REnta, it means red carpet that never
missed any best dressed lists. Oscar died in 20th October 2014 due
to cancer complication and left an enormous fashion legacy. But not only he
left us timeless gowns and couture, he also left the world with his memorable
quotes with a touch of humor. Here are some of his quotes:
1. ON
PERSONAL STYLE
“Fashion is about dressing according to what’s fashionable. Style is
more about being yourself.”
2. ON HIS DESIGN AESTHETIC
“I want to make clothes that people will wear, not styles that will make
a big splash on the runway.”
3. ON EVERYDAY WEAR

“There is no sound more feminine than a woman in a taffeta dress.”
5. ON SOCIAL MEDIA

the Internet.”
6. ON EACH OF HIS GOWNS
“There is always an emotional element to anything that you make.”
7. ON DRAMATIC DESIGNS

clothes.”
8. ON HIS INSPIRATION

9. ON CONFIDENCE

16. ON HIS DAILY WARDROBE
“I see people in a colorful shirt
and I think, My God, I would really love

am afraid that when I walk into the door, the host will say, ‘I’m sorry, but
the Latin band walks through that other door.’”
17. ON FEMINISM
