A most unfortunate event happened to the fashion world on October 20th, 2014 as the news of Oscar de la Renta's death hit the nation. Oscar de la Renta is famous in the fashion world for his exquisite exotic dress designs. He died at the age of 82, from complications of cancer that he had a few years prior. Renta started creating designs when he was only 18 years old in Spain which is where he turned away from abstract art and followed his passion for fashion. He worked for many big designers in NY a few years after visiting Spain, although it was not until 1965 that he finally got a chance to launch his own brand and line. De la Renta is known for dressing many first ladies in his extravagant gowns. He is also popular for his red carpet looks which he created so well. Featured above is both a picture of de la Renta himself and some of the gowns he has created over the years. Peter Copping will now be appointed as the new creative director for the brand. Hopefully de la Renta's magnificent designs will continue to live on in the fashion world.
