From: Fashion Channel - Milano

Devasting news to the fashion world: Oscar de la Renta has passed away at 82. This comes just after Peter Copping was named Creative Director of the fashion house but de la Renta was to maintain a very active role. De la Renta told WWD, 'I'm very happy Peter has agreed to join us. He is a great talent and along with our shared design sensibilities, we both have a deep curiosity about the wider world, from music and art to architecture and gardens. Our industry has not always done the best job when it comes to changes in design leadership. My hope is that, in leading this selection, and actively participating in the transition, I can ensure the right design future for our company and brand.'

After much rumor mongering, Oscar de la Renta has confirmed that Peter Copping has been named creative director, effective November 3.
