On October 20, 2014 the world of fashion said goodbye to the last representative of a generation of designers that marked the second half of the XNUMXth century.
Un great designer who marked a whole era in terms of fashion and who brilliantly designed all kinds of designs worn by famous actors from the world of cinema. A post recovering some of his popular sketches to demonstrate how Oscar de la Renta brought them to what is the previous drawing of what would be the final design.
Óscar Arístides de la Renta Fiallo was a Dominican-American fashion designer who received important awards and who over the years diversified his creations into many areas of design. He left his native country at 18 to study painting at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando. He began to make sketches for the main Spanish fashion houses, becoming an apprentice to Cristóbal Balenciaga, whom he considered as his mentor.
His career catapulted to international fame when dressing Jackie Kennedy or Nancy Reagan among others, apart from other current film celebrities such as Anne Hathaway or Scarlett Johansson.
The sketches that we bring here their great gifts for drawing, both in the proportion of models, line and use of color, with excellent clothing designs and that generally show the great artistic talent of this fashion designer.
A great artist and what we couldn't let the moment of remembering pass two days after his death at the age of 82. Just last October 17, he gave the witness of his signature to designer Peter Copping, leaving everything well tied, guarding the process and doing it gradually.
A designer with a special touch for art that should always be admired.
