Thanks for the replies. I didn't realize Oscar de la renta was A dominican designer. very nice.


What about something more average everyday clothing like old navy or something similar?

[Mr.Falcon]

Is the production of the two brands mentioned with videos made in their originals countries?

Beyond the casual brands I mentioned, I can also add Taco, and magazins' brands like Pool and Anne Kanner, for Riachuelo.

[Mr.Falcon]

Actually Guararapes Co., formed by Riachuelo stores and its brands, is the largest textile corporation of
Latin America.

[UrbanLuis]

Are there any of those brands you prefer mr.falcon?

[Mr.Falcon]

I don't use to buy expensive clothes so to me South or those found in Riachuelo are ok. There are some others from my region that I use to buy like Vilejack and Priorité.

That's a good question. I'll do my research and let you know.

Most of the important people of the world, especially the women, have worn an Oscar de la Renta at some point in their lives. Even Michelle Obama:

Here is an interesting Time magazine focus on Oscar de la Renta's clothing:

New York Times interview of Oscar de la Renta:



Moises is his adopted son, today one of the richest young Dominicans in the world inheriting hundreds of millions of dollars from his adopted father. He was an orphan in Dominican Republic that Oscar de la Renta rescued and basically made him the son he never had.

Moises is the only black guy in this video:
