Óscar Arístides Renta Fiallo (1932–2014), better known as Oscar de la Renta, was more than a designer—he was the man who defined elegance for generations. Born in Santo Domingo, trained under Cristóbal Balenciaga and Antonio del Castillo, he rose to international fame in the 1960s dressing none other than Jacqueline Kennedy. From there, his name became synonymous with timeless glamour.
