Today is a sad day in the fashion world, we lost a very talented and hard working man. Oscar de la Renta was a Dominican American designer who was know worldwide for his designs. He was known for dressing some of Hollywoods’ A-list, even dressing Jackie Kennedy. But what I like the most about him and his story is that he stumbled upon this and made a career out of it, all because one person saw the potential in him and gave him the chance. He originally was going to school to be a painter and drew clothes for a local newspaper to make some extra cash. Until the day a wife of a Spanish ambassador saw his drawings and asked him to design a few dresses for her daughter, who was photographed in Life Magazine that fall and everything took off from there. We will miss him and all of his creative and dazzling designs, for he has left him mark in the fashion world.
Hoy el mundo de moda pierde un gran artista, Ocasr de la Renta. Nacido en la Dominican Republica y era un diseñador famoso conocido por su vestido que lucían en todas las celebradas que se lo ponían. Hasta tuvo la oportunidad de vestir la primera dama, Jackie Kennedy. Pero lo que me gusta sobre toda la historia de su vida, es que todo empezó por casualidad. De la Renta estava atendiendo una universidad en España para ser pintor y para ser dinero extra dibujaba diseños de la moda para un periódico, cuando la esposa de un amasador de España lo descubro y le pago para ser unos diseños para su hija. Uno de sus diseños salio en frente de la revista Life y lo de mas es historia. Su presencia va a ser extrañado en el mundo de moda.
