More quotes by Oscar de la Renta
The essence of style is how you live your life
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
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
Accept your friends for who they are, not for who you want them to be.
Oscar de la Renta
I'm a very restless person. I'm always doing something. The creative process never stops.
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.
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
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
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
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.
Oscar de la Renta
I hate pretty. It’s a very empty word. It gives a bad name to beauty.
Oscar de la Renta
I always think the best way to dress is when the person notices you first and the dress after.
Oscar de la Renta
I have always felt my role as a designer is to do the very best I can for a woman to make her look her best. Fashion is only fashion once a woman puts it on.
Oscar de la Renta
We're dealing with sophisticated customers. What's most important to these women is individuality. I have to create things she'll want to wear, no matter who she is.
Oscar de la Renta
Walk like you have three men walking behind you.
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
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
Love. Be curious. Always try to do your best.
