Goodbye to the classiest and most elegant gentleman in fashion. Legendary fashion designer Oscar de la Renta has died at 82, according to ABC News. He first came to fame dressing Jackie Kennedy, and went on to dress celebrities of the 1960s through the present. Among the actresses who appreciated his red carpet gowns were Cameron Diaz, Oprah Winfrey, Kristen Stewart, Penelope Cruz and Jessica Chastain & Me........ ! Born in the Dominican Republic to a powerful family, de la Renta went to study painting in Spain and became and apprenticed with Cristobal Balenciaga before moving to Paris to work at Lanvin. I was happy I was able to make him laugh at the opening of his boutique in Bal Harbour where he was trying to maintain a professional serious look, but once we began to chat he let down his guard and we shared some laughs...... A legend of a man. RIP & thoughts & prayers to his wonderful wife Annette.
