More quotes by Oscar de la Renta
Working for incredible talents like Balenciaga and Antonio Castillo, I learned about the immense skill and creativity involved in couture work.
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
Excess is not really something I consider a bad thing especially when you are talking about living.
Oscar de la Renta
I love to live well, I love to eat well, I love to buy beautiful things, and to give a fantastic time to my friends.
Oscar de la Renta
I am not interested in shock tactics. I just want to make beautiful clothes.
Oscar de la Renta
Nothing says spring like hand-cut flowers.
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
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
Online media is increasingly influential in fashion.
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
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
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
Women are born free, and I think that they should stay that way.
Oscar de la Renta
Love. Be curious. Always try to do your best.
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 hate pretty. It’s a very empty word. It gives a bad name to beauty.
Oscar de la Renta
Elegance is a discipline of life.
Oscar de la Renta
My beloved Hillary, do not disappoint me. You have to be President, OK?
Oscar de la Renta
Nothing is contrived. At night, the clothes should pour like liquid over the body.
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.
