Reaction to the death late Monday of iconic designer Oscar de la Renta:
“He was just gracious and elegant and a gentleman. Mr. De la Renta loved women. And you saw it in every design that he did. He honored women’s features, he honored our bodies. He wasn’t afraid to pull back and let the woman be the star of the look. And I was just lucky to get to wear his designs and get to know him a little bit, just the tiniest bit, as a person.” – Actress Jennifer Garner, speaking at an Elle magazine event in Los Angeles.
