Born July 22, 1932
in Santo Domingo,
Dominican Republic is one of the world's
leading fashion designers. Trained by Balenciaga, he
became internationally known in the 1960s as one of the couturiers to dress Jacqueline Kennedy. An award-winning designer,
he worked for Lanvin and Balmain; his eponymous fashion house continues to
dress leading figures, from film stars to royalty, into the 2010s. De La Renta
is particularly known for his red carpet gowns and evening wear.
At the age of 18 he
left the Dominican Republic to study in Spain, where he studied painting at the
Academy of San Fernando in Madrid. He quickly became interested in the world of
fashion design and began sketching for leading Spanish fashion houses, which
soon led to an apprenticeship with Spain's most renowned couturier, Cristóbal Balenciaga. Later, de la Renta
left Spain to join Antonio Castillo as a couture assistant at Lanvin in Paris.
In 1963, torn between designing
custom clothing for Elizabeth Arden as well as designing shoes and
accessories, and designing ready-to-wear for Christian
Dior-New York, de la Renta turned for advice to Diana
Vreeland, the editor-in-chief of Vogue, saying that what he really wanted
was to "get into ready to wear, because that's where the money is".
Vreeland replied, "Then go to Arden because you will make your reputation
faster. She is not a designer, so she will promote you. At the other place, you
will always be eclipsed by the name of Dior." De la Renta proceeded to
work for Arden for two years before he in 1965 went to work for Jane Derby
and launched his own label. When Derby died in August 1965 Oscar de la Renta
took over the label.
He was one of the three major
protégés of Baron de Gunzburg; the others were Bill Blass
and Calvin Klein.
From 1993 to 2002, Oscar de la Renta designed the haute couture collection for
the house of Balmain (fashion house), becoming the
first Dominican to design for a French couture house. His clothes have been
worn by many celebrities, including Gloria
Guinness, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Reagan,
Laura Bush,
Jenna Bush,
Princess Maxima of the Netherlands,
Princess Madeleine of Sweden, Tina Fey,
Anne Hathaway and Megan Fox.
In 1967 and
1968, de la Renta won the Coty award (the US fashion industry 'Oscars') and in
1973 was inducted into the Coty Hall of Fame. From 1973 to
1976, and from 1986 to 1988, he served as President of the CFDA. He is also a
two-time winner of the American Fashion Critic's Award and was inducted into
the Fame in 1973. He was named to the International Best Dressed List
Hall of Fame in 1973. In 1968 he got the Neiman Marcus Fashion Award. De la Renta's
talents receive continual international recognition. Among them, he received
the Council of Fashion Designers
Designer of the Year Award in 2000 and in 2007 (tied with Proenza
Schouler). In February 1990, he was honored with the CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award.
