Oscar de la Renta had died aged 82 years old, according to reports from ABC News in the US and other media.

The iconic fashion designer — who has dressed everyone from First Ladies Clinton and Reagan to songstress Taylor Swift and, most recently, international barrister Amal Clooney — was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.

De la Renta was born in the Dominican Republic; he became internationally known in the 1960s as one of Jackie Kennedy’s favourite designers, as TMZ reports.

He also had a homewares line and his own fragrance.
