Oscar: The Style Inspiration and Life of Oscar De LA Renta

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.

Highly recommend this book, not only to fashionistas, but to everyone who loves great, beautiful and elegant interiors.Both his apartment on Fifth Avenue, the country house in Kent, CT. and, of course, the beautiful beach house in gorgeous Punta Cana! Luckily, I bought the book when it first came out - view the price now! Bravo, M. de la Renta!

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.
