Haute Living sat down with legendary fashion designer, Oscar de la Renta, to discuss his five-decade career, his recent New York Fashion Week show and his source of inspiration: extraordinary women. 'I love women. Women have always been my source of inspiration. The 21st century woman is unbelievable,' de la Renta enthuses. 'We have to celebrate all that women have achieved in such a short period of time. The women that wear Oscar de la Renta are strong and powerful. My most important customer is a wonderful woman walking down the street, a woman who is proud to be a woman today, a woman who has an extraordinary life. I always say that what's important is that what a woman is wearing is a projection of her own sense of individuality. It makes our work much but challenging, but also much more exciting.'

But don't think she was trying to scandalize or titillate. She was just informing us on what our education for the night entailed and what an education it was. A hilarious, illuminating and all together wonderful night of naughty education.
