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
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
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
Nothing says spring like hand-cut flowers.
Oscar de la Renta
You don't go to Buckingham Palace in a sweater.
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 always think the best way to dress is when the person notices you first and the dress after.
Oscar de la Renta
Online media is increasingly influential in fashion.
Oscar de la Renta
Nothing is contrived. At night, the clothes should pour like liquid over the body.
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 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
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
The most important beauty is not that with which you were born, but the beauty of character which grows through a woman's life and maybe never stops growing.
Oscar de la Renta
The charities closest to my heart have always involved helping children in some way.
Oscar de la Renta
My customers are successful workingwomen.
Oscar de la Renta
The essence of style is how you live your life
Oscar de la Renta
I adore gardening, and whenever I have time off, that is my passion.
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
In fashion, the most important thing is to move on.
