Oscar de La Renta: the Style, Inspiration and Life

With a forward from Vogue’s legendary editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, the 208-page, hardcover book provides expansive fashion photography and rare imagery from Oscar de la Renta’s personal archives.

Oscar de la Renta is one of the most celebrated couturiers in the world, a renaissance man of American fashion. Born in the Dominican Republic, he has played a central role in the fashion scene for over forty years and has dressed everyone in the celebrity world.

This beautifully updated edition of the original 2002 volume, brimming with iconic fashion photography and images from de la Renta’s personal albums, gives an inside view of the designer’s creative inspirations and private world. Oscar is the story of a man whose artistic, generous spirit transcends his fashion creations.

“Oscar completely understands…who he is and who is dressing…he never tried to be avant-garde or difficult…he just does reaaly good clothes, never overtly sexy but attractive, colourful and feminine.” Anna Wintour
