Oscar de la Renta Shoes

Oscar de la Renta is one of the leading brands in the fashion industry.  Born Oscar Aristides Renta Fiallo to a Dominican mother and a Puerto Rican father, the designer studied painting in Spain before shifting to fashion. He served a prestigious apprenticeship with Spain’s leading couturier, Cristobal Balenciaga, before going to other labels like Elizabeth Arden and Jane Derby. He launched the Oscar de la Renta label in 1965.

Oscar de la Renta is best known for making “haute couture” gowns for society’s elite, and the label has been renowned for dressing the crème de la crème of Hollywood for premiers, balls and award ceremonies. Sophistication and elegance are probably the two best words to describe Oscar de la Renta’s works. His dresses straddle the line between artistic masterpiece and stylish indulgence, with looks that are both cultured and feminine.  Every gown designed is a dreamy concoction, and every shoe is born out of a labor of love.

Over the years, the brand has started to restructure its market strategy, aiming to provide luxury pieces at a more mid-range price. Today, the brand has a wide range of products that are ready-to-wear and available in stores worldwide, and the company has begun to appeal to a younger, more trendy demographic. Oscar de la Renta, a man of vision, achieved his goal of painting the fashion world with his creative flair for sophistication and timeless chic.
