Oscar de la Renta

“I do not have one theme for each season, I just try to make beautiful clothes all year round.”

“I am not interested in shock tactics. I just want to make beautiful clothes.”

“Fashion is about dressing according to what's fashionable. Style is more about being yourself.”

“I have this complex that if I walk into a place wearing a colorful shirt someone will stop me and say, 'I'm sorry, but the Latin band comes through the other door.'”

“I'm a very restless person. I'm always doing something. The creative process never stops.”

“Although I have no plans to tweet, I am fascinated by developments on the Internet.”

“Now is the most exciting time in fashion. Women are controlling their destiny now, the consumer is more knowledgeable, and I have to be better every single day.”

“We live in an era of globalization and the era of the woman. Never in the history of the world have women been more in control of their destiny.”

“Online media is increasingly influential in fashion.”

“I want to make clothes that people will wear, not styles that will make a big splash on the runway.”
