More quotes by Oscar de la Renta
I don't really know how to do casual clothes.
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
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
The most important thing? Perfect lighting at all times.
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
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
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 come from a very warm island, where colors are very important, very vibrant, and obviously the color has been an influence on my work.
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
Although I have no plans to tweet, I am fascinated by developments on the Internet.
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
I think the greatest reward I have is getting up and going to work each day. I love what I do.
Oscar de la Renta
Luxury to me is not about buying expensive things it's about living in a way where you appreciate things.
Oscar de la Renta
You don't go to Buckingham Palace in a sweater.
Oscar de la Renta
I would like better to be known as the Godfather of Fashion, with all the implications that that word has.
Oscar de la Renta
Women think black is the most flattering color, but they're wrong. Pink adds a cosmetic-like radiance and warmth. Black drains the skin of color pink delights the eye.
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
My wife said I look like a Latin American dictator. I said, 'That's what I am'
Oscar de la Renta
You have to appreciate every single day that you're alive. Life is a little bit like a garden - you have to find time to plant the seeds for beautiful flowers to grow.
