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
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
I want to make clothes that people will wear, not styles that will make a big splash on the runway.
Oscar de la Renta
