In Memorian of Oscar de la Renta - The Man Who Made Women Beautiful

As many people in the fashion industry, or simply just fashion admirers, I am deeply saddened by the loss of Oscar de la Renta.
Along with Valentino, Christian Lacroix and Karl Lagerfeld, he has been my favorite designer for many years.





I wrote so many posts about him, I think I mentioned no other designer more often on my 'Look of the Week'-series.
- My Oscar de la Renta-inspired thigh high boots.
- A December-edition of 'Look of the Week'.
- A post about exquisite gowns, featuring many by Oscar.



Carrie Bradshaw's iconic Oscar de la Renta dress.

Even though I was never fortunate enough to own one of his pieces, I have a fond memory of de la Renta's fashion;

Just last week when I went to Budapest, I entered a department store heaven that was 4 levels high with dozens of high-end brands,
yet still my favorite piece of the entire store was a embroided teal Oscar de la Renta dress.
I told my boyfriend if I could have just 1 thing in the store, it would be that dress.





And the many hours spent browsing his collections on Style.com.
He was always in my top 5 favorite designers. Definitely number 1 favorite American designer.

Goodbye dear Oscar.
You will be missed and thought of often.

Your fan,
