The fashion world has lost one of it's great icons and talents Oscar De La renta, who passed away yesterday in his home in Connecticut, U.S.A, his family says. He was 82 years old.
The Dominican Republic-born designer through-out his life worked with some other legendary designers like Balenciaga and Lanvin before starting his own label in 1965 and later rising to fashion fame in the U.S. for dressing the very popular former FLOTUS Jacqueline Kennedy.
Since then, celebrities and women of style from various walks of life have worn the regal, show-stopping master-pieces that is Mr. De La renta's creations.
He was diagnosed with cancer some years ago, but the official cause-of-death is yet to be stated.
His family released a statement saying-
"While our hearts are broken by the idea of life without Oscar, he's still very much with us. Oscar's hard work, his intelligence and his love of life are at the heart of our company. We will make Oscar very proud of us by continuing in an even stronger way the work that Oscar loved so much"
See some of his genius works-
Oscar De La renta was a favorite go-to label for a lot of celebs, brides and very notably, some very fashionable U.S First Ladies.
He will be missed. Condolences to his family.
Keep Walking.
