This Friday “The View” has something special stored for you. You get to watch the gorgeous Catherine Zeta-Jones talking about her Broadway musical plus you will taken behind the scenes of Elisabeth’s job swap and the biggest treat of them all – “Fashion Friday” with Oscar de la Renta.
Dominican/Puerto Rican, Oscar de la Renta is one of the world’s leading fashion designers
It all started in 1963, when in Paris, when Oscar realized that the future of fashion was not in haute couture, but in ready-to-wear – so he set off for America. But in New York, at the advice of Diana Vreeland, then Editor-in-Chief of Vogue, he returned to couture designing Elizabeth Arden’s custom-made clothing line. As Arden was known for beauty, not fashion, she promoted Oscar’s name on the label so that he was able to gain public recognition which paved the way for what was to become his own groundbreaking venture of the Oscar de la Renta signature ready-to-wear label, just two years down the road.
Oscar de la Renta’s Bridal collection, that was launched in 2008 gained huge recognition as the dresses featured extraordinary embroideries and beautiful fabrics, from silk duchess to French Alençon lace.
Oscar de la Renta is one of the leading design houses in the world today. The company has seen an influx of great young talent, as it continues to grow and expand as a global brand. His son-in-law Alex Bolen operates as Chief Executive Officer, step-daughter Eliza Bolen serves as Creative Director of Licensing, and his son Moises de la Renta works in the Design Studio.
