The award was presented to Oscar de la Renta, his friend and fellow fashion icon.
Eloquence is precisely the word.
As he walks on a stage or into a room, de la Renta emits an air of grace and style befitting of movie stars and dignitaries. Then again, it is the starlets who clamor to wear his designs down the red carpet. He is one of the most sought-after designers in the world. Women such as Sarah Jessica Parker and even Barbara Walters swoon at the mention of his name. At the Trustees Theater May 26, de la Renta earned another award to add to the many he has garnered throughout his career.
