Oscar de la Renta quotes about
The qualities I most admire in women are confidence and kindness.
It’s not about what you wear, but about how you live your life
Be the designer of your own destiny.
If you don’t move, you get stale.
Every day you have to reinvent yourself
Style begins by looking good naked. It's a discipline. And if you don't dress well every day, you lose the habit. It's not about what you wear, but about how you live your life.
Style begins by looking good naked
Fashion is about dressing according to what's fashionable. Style is more about being yourself.
Elegance is a discipline of life.
The well dressed man never stands out in a crowd; his elegance sets him apart.
Never,ever confuse what happens on a runway with fashion. A runway is spectacle. It's only fashion when a woman puts it on. Being well dressed hasn't much to do with having good clothes. It's a question of good balance and good common sense.
Things never happen on accident. They happen because you have a vision, you have a commitment, you have a dream.
A fragrance is like a signature, so that even after a woman leaves the room, her fragrance should reveal she's been there.
Silk does for the body what diamonds do for the hand.
