Oscar De La Renta Collection 2011-2012

O.M.G I don't know anyone who can hate my fashion designer icon Oscar de la Renta. Seriously if you can't admire the craft work and detail that goes into his clothing please let me know and why because every year his creations and designs are done with such effortless chic they are sure contenders for any red carpet appearance and definitely will get you on the best dress list of any fashion critic.

Oscar de la Renta was born Oscar Aristides Renta, July 22, 1932 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, to a Dominican mother and a Puerto Rican father. Oscar de la Renta left his native Dominican Republic at 18 years of age to study painting at the Academy of San Fernando in Madrid. While living in Spain, he became interested in the world of design and began sketching for leading Spanish fashion houses, which soon led to an apprenticeship with Spain's most renowned couturier, Cristobal Balenciaga. 

Later, Oscar de la Renta left Spain to join Antonio Castillo as a couture assistant at the house of Lanvin in Paris. In 1963, Oscar de la Renta came to New York to design the couture collection for Elizabeth Arden. 

In 1965, Mr. de la Renta began his signature ready-to-wear label.
