Fashion designer Oscar de la Renta dies at 82 - NEW YORK (AP) — Oscar de la Renta, the worldly gentleman designer who shaped the wardrobe of socialites, first ladies and Hollywood stars for more than four decades, has died. He was 82. De la Renta died at home Monday evening in Connecticut surrounded by family, friends and more than a few dogs, according to a handwritten statement signed by his stepdaughter Eliza Reed Bolen and her husband, Alex Bolen. The statement did not specify a cause of death, but de la Renta had spoken in the past of having cancer. While our hearts are broken by the idea of life without Oscar, he is still very much with us. Oscars hard work, his intelligence and his love of life are at the heart of our company, the statement said. All that we have done, and all that we will do, is informed by his values and his spirit. Through Oscars example we know the way forward. We will make Oscar very proud of us by continuing in an even stronger way the work that Oscar loved so much.
