NEW POST ON ALAIN ELKANN INTERVIEWS: -

PAOLO ROVERSI

What about the death of Oscar de la Renta?

It is sad. He leaves a great void. I knew him.

Paolo Roversi reveals how he feels about his life spent in photography, a great life working in a wonderfully expressive medium. Photography is a universal language that doesn't need translation or interpretation. They talk together from how Paolo got started in a basement in Ravenna age 17 to his making it in Paris, how he fell love with and married one of his models, who his photography teachers were, the designers he admires and his relationship with some of the magazines that he works for and are dear to him.

Alain made one of the last full length interviews with Oscar de la Renta, originally published by Spear's Magazine.  With the sad news of Oscar's death last week Alain has added a moving new personal tribute to the great fashion designer who, "loved and worked at his craft from his very early days to the very end of his life....a man who went to work every day in his atelier, even if terribly ill....He dressed divas and First Ladies, but he was generous and aware of the many miseries of this world."  http://alainelkanninterviews.com/oscar-de-la-renta/
