(CNN) -- Legendary fashion designer Oscar de la Renta has died, close friends of the family and industry colleagues told CNN on Monday.

He was 82. The cause of death was not immediately clear.

Throughout his career, de la Renta dressed first ladies, movie stars and some of the world's most famous brides. He enjoyed more than five decades in the spotlight -- putting high society in haute couture -- from Jacqueline Kennedy to, most recently, George Clooney's new bride Amal Alamuddin.

Sad. He lived in my hometown in Connecticut. I have a friend whose parents worked for Oscar DeLaRenta, and his whole family was very close to him.
