A sumptuous monograph tracing the life and legacy of fashion luminary Oscar de la Renta. In October 2014 one of the fashion world’s champions, Oscar de la Renta, passed away, a great loss brightened by the innumerable successes of his half-century reign. The acclaimed fashion designer dressed first ladies from Kennedy to Obama, and celebrities from Beyoncé to Sarah Jessica Parker. Renowned for his unique charm, impeccable taste, and original lifestyle, he married the highest standards of French couture with the ultimate motivation that women must look and feel beautiful.
In this intimate volume, longtime editor and friend André Leon Talley recounts de la Renta’s journey through nearly 70 iconic dresses, mainly made for private clients, accompanied by fascinating stories of the exquisite craftsmanship and the legendary friends that brought each gown to life. Born in the Dominican Republic in 1932, de la Renta left for Madrid at nineteen to study art, where he rose to prominence as a sketch artist for newspapers and fashion houses. From his apprenticeship under Cristóbal Balenciaga to his eponymous collections, the designer’s simple lines elevated with a flamenco dancer’s flourish reflect his deep connection to his roots and his commitment to transcendence through beautiful garments.

- An informative book with good, clear photographs of the gowns. I got this book for my mom when I went to the Oscar de la Renta exhibit at the MFAH. The official companion book the museum was selling to go with the exhibit did not contain many clear photos of the dresses in the exhibit, but I found that this book had much better pictures of the dress in the show.
- A representative account of one of Fashion's most brilliant designers. So unique were his designs that one could identify his work with just one brief look... Exquisite!
- I love this book so much. I’ve been a fan of Oscar de la Renta for so long and was devastated when he passed. This book is an excellent tribute to him and gave me a better perspective of who he was as a person and what inspired his designs. The pictures from the exhibit are great quality as well. This book also looks great on my coffee table!
- Elegant coffee table book. Photography is gorgeous. Looks wonderful on my table.
- I wish there had been more of his work, rather than key pieces.
- Stunning coffee table book, I bought it for myself but will purchase more as gifts for friends and clients. Great gift for any true fashionista!
- Absolutely stunning book
- Beautiful, hard cover book.
