After forty years in the glamour business, Oscar de la Renta remains a vital name in both American fashion and Paris Haute Couture - a style-setter who has dressed famous beauties from Marisa Berenson to Kate Moss, Claudine Auger to Sarah Jessica Parker. With stunning images by such master lensmen as Richard Avedon, Peter Lindbergh, Steven Meisel, and Bert Stern, along with photographs from the designer's personal archives, this book captures the unique charm that is Oscar. The book covers his earliest childhood memories, his inspirations, his houses and gardens, the fidelity he has demonstrated to his artistic vision, and the women he has dressed. Oscar opens a window on his private world, sharing his style of living and humanitarian outlook. Oscar de la Renta is a never-before-seen look at one of the world's most influential tastemakers - as timeless as the clothes he continues to create.

How could you not love Oscar?,
By
This review is from: Oscar: The Style, Inspiration and Life of Oscar de La Renta (Hardcover)
Oscar de la Renta is a brilliant designer and throughout this large book his talent radiates off the page. It has insightful quotes from both Oscar and his clients. It really helped my love for fashion grow with the knowledge of his struggling background and undying work ethic. A must have for any fashion student or admirer of beautiful things. Hey, if you can't buy one of his dresses, mine as well own some pictures of them.

My favourite coffee table book,
By Kirsty (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oscar: The Style, Inspiration and Life of Oscar de La Renta (Hardcover)
This is a divine book and you will love having a good sticky beak at Oscar's glam lifestyle. The South American House, second wife, garden, frocks and Manhattan apartment are all lovingly and lavishly photographed. It is worth every penny.
