Great post. Key players. Why the Dominican Republic? Oscar was WELL connected and talented. He is a key to all sorts of relationships. Here is an excellent in-depth article on his life. MUST READ. Here's some info on his house in Dominican Republic : “He loves their house in Kent, Connecticut, where he’s created gardens that supply “the most spiritual and purest of joys,” and the house in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, where he has built an orphanage and day care center that serves more than 1,200 children." "Their dinner parties – in their homes in Manhattan, Connecticut and the Dominican Republic – were legendary, mixing old and new money with fashion, entertainment and politics." "“He works side-by-side with his stepdaughter, he dotes on his adopted son Moises, and he has an enormously wide range of close friends, all of whom say pretty much the same thing that Nancy Kissinger did years ago: “Oscar and Annette are the two most thoughtful people I’ve ever known.”"

"In June 2001, he created a garden for Lord Jacob Rothschild at Waddesdon Manor, the turreted French château-style home built for the Rothschild family in Buckinghamshire, England. Read more about it here." " Life in the social world’s elite advanced for Oscar when he became the third husband of Françoise de Langlade in 1967....She had been a mistress of Baron Elie de Rothschild, and married firstly to French businessman Jean Bruère, and secondly, diplomat Nicholas Bagenow." http://www.mylusciouslife.com/fashion-history-oscar-de-la-renta-bio-archive/

Yes, we have learned to read between the lines. Orphanage, day care center, 1,200 Children. His adopted son Moises. His wife Annette was not very kind to the son. I wonder where and how did he find this boy? What was their relationship. I also read that Oscar was involved with sugar plantations. A dirty business. The connections with the Rothschilds do make one wonder how far this all goes. These people make me sick. Their gardens and chateaus. I read the Mother Jones article about 2 years ago and was shocked. Walters and Rose? Really? Now look what has become of Rose. He and Kissinger are very good friends, very close. They deserve each other. Kissinger is beyond old. He needs to go. Wonder what makes him live so long when he looks as he does. Hmm.

Moises de la Renta: Oscar's adopted son....

"Oscar de la Renta snubbed adopted son in will

Moises de la Renta, adopted by Oscar from an orphanage in their native Dominican Republic, was left a relatively threadbare portion of his dad’s $26 million estate — and was warned that if he ever tried to contest the will, he would be cut out completely, court documents show. Moises, 30, had angered his dad by launching his own women’s fashion line in 2005."

"Oscar said he adopted Moises, then just 24 hours old, after his first wife, Francoise, died of cancer. “I never thought I would get married again. I thought my son and I would have each other,’’ he said." https://pagesix.com/2015/06/01/oscar-de-la-renta-snubs-adopted-son-in-will/

Strange that his father disowns him for following in his footsteps. Most fathers would be proud. Oscar set up Casa De Los Ninos in the Dominican Republic.

SHOULD HE BE ADDED TO THE BODY COUNT? "Chelsea Clinton reveals designer Oscar de la Renta personally knit a dress for her nine-month-old daughter Charlotte just weeks before he died The former first daughter, 35, told an A-list audience at the CFDA Awards that the designer sent her a knitted pink dress for her baby Chelsea said the gift, which she received weeks before the designer died, was 'among the last - if not the very last thing - he ever made' She also credits Mr. de la Renta, who made her wedding dress, with helping her to be less of a wallflower " REMEMBER, CLINTON FOUNDATION PAID FOR CHELSEA'S WEDDING.... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3107640/Chelsea-Clinton-reveals-one-late-designer-Oscar-la-Renta-s-designs-nine-month-old-daughter-Charlotte.html
