Brand intelligence
Oscar de la Renta
Oscar de la Renta is the New York fashion house founded in 1965 by Dominican-born American designer Oscar de la Renta. The house is recognised for refined occasionwear, tailoring, floral decoration, handwork, bridal and a red-carpet-facing approach to American luxury. Since 2016, Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia have led the brand as Co-Creative Directors, a genuinely shared mandate that follows Peter Copping’s 2014–2016 succession after the founder’s death. Kim and Garcia also founded Monse; that separate company is represented in their people records rather than folded into Oscar de la Renta. The profile preserves the founder’s legacy and current co-leadership without making unsupported claims about the privately held company’s ownership, revenue or valuation.
