More quotes by Oscar de la Renta
The well dressed man never stands out in a crowd his elegance sets him apart.
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
I always say: To be well dressed you must be well naked.
Oscar de la Renta
Nothing is contrived. At night, the clothes should pour like liquid over the body.
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 want to establish an international presence you can't do so from New York. You need the consecration of Paris.
Oscar de la Renta
Accept your friends for who they are, not for who you want them to be.

Oscar de la Renta
Walk like you have three men walking behind you.

Oscar de la Renta
Tell me, which designers in New York do you think are great - besides me, of course.
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
I always think the best way to dress is when the person notices you first and the dress after.
Oscar de la Renta
Women are born free, and I think that they should stay that way.
Oscar de la Renta
I am not interested in shock tactics. I just want to make beautiful clothes.
Oscar de la Renta
Be the designer of your own destiny.
Oscar de la Renta
The essence of style is how you live your life
Oscar de la Renta
I do not have one theme for each season, I just try to make beautiful clothes all year round.
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
Fashion is about the present and the immediate future. I think in terms of now.
