De la Renta

Stanley Tucci in the role of Nigel in the 2006 film "The Devil Wears Prada", refers to Oscar de la Renta, as one of the greatest artists of the century

Born July 22, 1932, in Dominican Republic, the island that gave him the love for the exotic, so colorful and luminous.

At the age of 18, he went to Spain, where, beside of another great artist, Cristobal Balenciaga, he discovered his passion for fashion.

After the wife of the American ambassador in Spain saw some of his designs, commissioned him to design a dress for her daughter. The daughter and the dress appeared on the cover of Life magazine.

From Madrid to Paris and then to New York

The day after his arrival in the City of Light, he was offered a job, at Lanvin, where he refined his style. Two years later, he moved to New York - where he became a designer for Elizabeth Arden.

He made his name a brand branched out into fragrance and then in a home line, then on the furniture, never put aside his creations prêt-à-porter and Haute Couture, worn by both political personalities, as well as Hollywood stars and even our first lady Angelica Rivera

 

Here it is a gallery of his most memorable creations:

De la Renta

Stanley Tucci en el papel de Nigel en la película del 2006 “The Devil Wears Prada”, se refiere a Oscar de la Renta, como uno de los más grandes artistas del siglo 

 

Nacido el 22 de julio de 1932, en República Dominicana, isla de la que le vino su amor por lo exótico, por lo colorido y la luz, dijo alguna vez al New York Times.

 

A los 18 años se fue a España, donde al lado de otro gran artista, Cristóbal Balenciaga, descubrió que lo suyo era la moda.

 

Luego de que la esposa del embajador de Estados Unidos en España vio algunos de sus diseños, lo comisionó para diseñar un vestido para su hija. La hija y el vestido aparecieron en la portada de la revista Life.

 

De Madrid a París y de ahí a Nueva York

 

Al día siguiente de su llegada a la Ciudad Luz, le ofrecieron un trabajo en, Lanvin, donde refinó su estilo. Dos años más tarde, se trasladó a Nueva York - donde se convirtió en un diseñador de Elizabeth Arden.

 

Hizo de su nombre una marca que se ramificó en fragancia y luego en una línea de casa, a continuación, en los muebles, sin dejar nunca de lado sus creaciones prêt-à-porter y Haute Couture, llevadas por personalidades tanto de la política, como estrellas de Hollywood e inclusive nuestra primera dama Angélica Rivera

#GallianoIsBack (English version)

Maison Martin Margiela welcomes a new era, at least that reads your Twitter account. (@Margiela)

British designer John Galliano, the former Christian Dior artistic director who was fired from that post in 2011 for making anti-Semitic remarks, who will follow up the adventure that began Martin Margiela himself, of whom little is known. (never shown an image of himself, has never come to thank his guests at the end of his fashion shows and does not respond to interviews in a personal way, but by fax or any other electronic device)

In a statement of "urgent", Renzo Rosso, half businessman, half rockstar, who is also the president of OTB (Only The Brave, which includes brands such as Diesel, Viktor & Rolf, Marni and of course, Maison Martin Margiela) Said that Juan Carlos Antonio Galliano Guillén, better known as John Galliano, will be the one that will conceive all the collections of Haute Couture and prêt-à-porter. His debut will be in the week of Haute Couture Paris in early 2015.

“You're only as good as your last collection, which is an enormous pressure” – John Galliano
