John Heilpern talks to Oscar de la Renta for this month’s Vanity Fair’s “Out To Lunch” column, which despite his always uncomfortable writing (why, WHY must we always make things sound like badly translated edited-for-length awkward short stories?) includes a few fantastic “endearing” and “quirky” little quips. [via, as always, Refinery29]
“…when I arrived in Madrid from the Dominican Republic, where I was born, I was told, ‘Listen, guy, if you want to go out with us, you must learn how to dress…. Do you know why I almost always wear a tie? I have this complex that if I walk into a place wearing a colorful shirt someone will stop me and say, ‘I’m sorry, but the Latin band comes through the other door.’”
HELLO
I'm telling you stories. Trust me.
