About the brand
Founded in 1965 by Dominican-born designer Oscar de la Renta, the eponymous fashion house established itself as a beacon of sophisticated American luxury from its Madison Avenue headquarters in New York City. Oscar de la Renta, who trained under legendary Spanish couturier Cristóbal Balenciaga and worked at prestigious houses like Lanvin, brought European elegance and craftsmanship to the American fashion landscape. His philosophy centered on making women look and feel extraordinary, attracting a distinguished clientele including U.S. First Ladies, celebrities, and international socialites. The brand is renowned for its feminine aesthetic that seamlessly blends old-world techniques with modern sensibilities. Oscar de la Renta designs are distinguished by lavish textiles, vibrant colors inspired by the designer's Caribbean heritage, and exceptional artisanal craftsmanship. Following Oscar's passing in 2014, creative directors Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim continue to honor the house's legacy of romantic elegance and timeless sophistication, maintaining its position as a global authority in luxury fashion.
