An award-winning designer, he formed an eponymous fashion house that still dresses key figures, from film stars to royalty, into the 2010s. Particularly known for his red carpet gowns and evening wear, de la Renta has set up several other enterprises. In 1977, he launched his perfume, Oscar, which was followed by an accessories line in 2001, and a homewares line in 2002. Furthermore, de la Renta’s craftsmanship goes beyond creating attire in 2006, when he got the chance to design Tortuga Bay, a boutique hotel at Puntacana Resort and Club.
