Check out the new Oscar de la Renta website— it not only offers the latest collections from the legendary designer, there are photos of his life from childhood and his years as a young designer. With the recent passing of Yves Saint Laurent, we feel incredibly lucky that we have had not just one but several occasions to meet with Oscar in person and discuss his love of designing beautiful clothes. He is one of the last great designers of a lost era and one we should all cherish. We love the fresh new look of the website– go check it out!! (jump for more photos!)
