Sad to hear of his passing. His designs were classy and beautiful.

When I heard this on the news this AM, I thought....didn't he die 10-15 yrs ago?

This happens quite frequently. Chilling, but then the status quo will make it be whatever it is for the day.

It's pretty complex some theories on this phenomena. I was trying to assure you that this happens quite frequently, easily blanketed by the term "death hoax"--although some theorize many quantum mechanics are tweaking bits here and there, but that is theory and fun to read.

yes his history is rich. He was Jackie Kennedy' s American designer throughout her time in THE WHITE HOUSE.

Oscar de la Renta was 19 when Kennedy was elected and 21 when he was assassinated! He was studying in Europe under Balenciaga at that time. I think you may be thinking of Oleg Cassini who was her Jackie's White House designer. Oscar de la Renta did dress Jackie Kennedy, but after the White House years.

Oscar was my favorite scent for years, way, way back.

May he rest in peace. He just finished Amal Clooney's wedding dress not too long ago. I love his concepts for attire on grand and formal occasions.

My Mother always gifted me with Oscar before her passing. It's precious to me. . .

Class personified. A true gentleman in every sense of the word. First Class in his designs, in his fragrances, in everything he created. The fashion world lost a true icon in Oscar de la Renta. And on a personal note, my birthday-mate as well (July 22). May he Rest In Peace.
