Take a look inside OscardelaRenta's country home.
was born in the Dominican Republic, trained in Spain and France, and made his name in New York City. He acquired the moniker “Concorde Couturier” after he was appointed head of Balmain in Paris in 1993. As high-flying as his life was, de la Renta was anything but rootless, maintaining showcase-perfect homes in his native country, in Manhattan, and in Kent, Connecticut, which we’ve pulled from _Vogue’_s archive to feature here.
Having been introduced to the area by Condé Nast’s Editorial Director at the time, Alexander Liberman, de la Renta bought this American-style clapboard house, built by a House Beautiful editor and surrounded by many verdant acres, in 1971. “When I first saw what became my house—actually, when I first turned into the drive—I knew it was a place I wanted to be,” the designer said in a 2011 interview. “That has never changed.
The same cannot be said of the house and grounds. De la Renta and his first wife, Françoise Langlade, gutted and altered it to fit their lifestyle. When the widowed designer remarried in 1989, the future of the main structure was perilous: “I very graciously said to Oscar, ‘This house is so hideous; tear it down!’ ” recalled its chatelaine,. The house stands, though it went through another series of transformations, inside and out.
