It is no secret that Oscar de la Renta is one of the world's leading fashion designers, and this gallery of breathtaking Oscar de la Renta designs demonstrates just why the designer has experienced decades of unprecedented success.

79 year-old designer Oscar de la Renta is from the Dominican Republic and brings a sense of exoticism to his clothing. A recipient of the CFDA's Lifetime Achievement Award in 1990, Mr. de la Renta is certainly a legend in the fashion industry.
