The fashion world has lost a truly remarkable talent.
Oscar de la Renta, who is known for his stunning designs that have graced numerous red carpets and influential events throughout his 50 years in the industry, has died at the age of 82.
The iconic designer's cause of death was not clear. However, he was diagnosed with cancer in 2006, but said in an interview last year with the International Business Times that he was "totally clean" of the disease and not at all interested in retirement. He recently designed Amal Clooney's wedding gown, and appeared in the pages of Vogue with George Clooney's bride, taken during her fitting.
Celebrities who have either worn or simply appreciated Oscar de la Renta's beautiful creations voiced out their mourning and sadness on Twitter.
