More quotes by Oscar de la Renta
The well dressed man never stands out in a crowd his elegance sets him apart.
Oscar de la Renta
The most important thing? Perfect lighting at all times.
Oscar de la Renta
A woman plays such an active role in society. And today, the woman who influences fashion is not that very rich woman who sits at home and polishes her nails. It's the one who works, who is a doer, who does things by dressing. She's very strongly projecting an image of herself as an individual.
Oscar de la Renta
One should travel as light as possible. I can organize myself to go on a ten-day trip with just hand luggage.
Oscar de la Renta
What women have achieved in the last 50 years, I wish men would have achieved in the last 100.
Oscar de la Renta
Style begins by looking good naked
Oscar de la Renta
Never,ever confuse what happens on a runway with fashion. A runway is spectacle. It's only fashion when a woman puts it on. Being well dressed hasn't much to do with having good clothes. It's a question of good balance and good common sense.
Oscar de la Renta
I'm a very restless person. I'm always doing something. The creative process never stops.
Oscar de la Renta
As far as preference between fall and spring collections, I have none that I prefer to design. With fall you have a lot more items, but of course I am from the Dominican Republic, so I love the warm weather.
Oscar de la Renta
Excess is not really something I consider a bad thing especially when you are talking about living.
Oscar de la Renta
Accept your friends for who they are, not for who you want them to be.
Oscar de la Renta
My wife said I look like a Latin American dictator. I said, 'That's what I am'
Oscar de la Renta
You don't need an introduction to succeed in life. You need to have good work. Work hard. Believe in yourself
Oscar de la Renta
You know I started an orphanage so totally by accident. A lady came to me and asked me if I would, I will help her and we start it with little school and then I fell in love with it.
Oscar de la Renta
If you want to establish an international presence you can't do so from New York. You need the consecration of Paris.
Oscar de la Renta
Regardless of how good or bad a collection might be, it's a letdown after the show is over. It's done. Something you've worked on for months is just over.
Oscar de la Renta
I want to make clothes that people will wear, not styles that will make a big splash on the runway.
Oscar de la Renta
When I was a boy, I thought scent was contained in dewdrops on flowers and if I got up very early in the morning, I could collect it and make perfume.
Oscar de la Renta
Things never happen on accident. They happen because you have a vision, you have a commitment, you have a dream.
Oscar de la Renta
I adore gardening, and whenever I have time off, that is my passion.
