More quotes by Oscar de la Renta
I hate pretty. It’s a very empty word. It gives a bad name to beauty.
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
My job as a designer is to make a woman feel her very best.
Oscar de la Renta
Tell me, which designers in New York do you think are great - besides me, of course.

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
Gardening is how I relax. It's another form of creating and playing with colors.
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
If you wear a different perfume every day, I do not recognize you.
Oscar de la Renta
If you have the right to call me a hot dog why do I not have the right to call you a stale 3-day old hamburger?
Oscar de la Renta
I’ve lived every day to the fullest, and I’ve had a marvelous time. I’ve tried to be nice to the people I care about, and ignore the ones I don’t. I enjoy what I’ve done.
Oscar de la Renta
Fashion is about the present and the immediate future. I think in terms of now.
Oscar de la Renta
I always say: To be well dressed you must be well naked.
Oscar de la Renta
When a woman falls in love with something so much that she wants to wear it- it is at that point that it becomes fashion.
