Customer Reviews

My favourite coffee table book

This is a divine book and you will love having a good sticky beak at Oscar's glam lifestyle. The South American House, second wife, garden, frocks and Manhattan apartment are all lovingly and lavishly photographed. It is worth every penny.

How could you not love Oscar?

Oscar de la Renta is a brilliant designer and throughout this large book his talent radiates off the page. It has insightful quotes from both Oscar and his clients. It really helped my love for fashion grow with the knowledge of his struggling background and undying work ethic. A must have for any fashion student or admirer of beautiful things. Hey, if you can't buy one of his dresses, mine as well own some pictures of them.
