Read one of Oscar de la Renta's final interviews

By Spear's

Earlier this year Spear’s published Alain Elkann’s interview with the fashion designer, who died today

In the interview, one of his last ones, Oscar de la Renta talked about how he had to secretly become a fashion designer in Paris (‘For my parents, Paris, where I wanted to go, was considered Sodome et Gomorrhe’); why John Galliano deserved a second chance after his anti-semitic remarks; and how he never wanted to stop working (‘I hate the word “retiring”‘). You can read the full interview by Alain Elkann here.
