Oscar de la Renta is known as one of the best fashion designers in the world. He has won many awards, and his clothes have been worn by many people.
Oscar was born in the Dominican Republic, and he uses influences from his childhood to inspire his clothes today. He became interested in fashion at the age of 18, and his love of fashion only grew from there. By the 1960s Oscar had traveled to Paris to learn more about fashion as he worked as an assistant under Antonio Castillo. Oscar then came to the US and got going with his own line. Once his line got going he didn't forget about where he came from, and he went back to the Dominican Republic and built an orphanage.
Today Oscar has expanded his fashion line from couture to ready-to wear collections, accessories, perfume, eye wear, and even furniture.
