More quotes by Vera Wang
When I decided to get married at 40, I couldn't find a dress with the modernity or sophistication I wanted. That's when I saw the opportunity for a wedding gown business.
Vera Wang
It's hard to juggle being a businessperson with being a creative person. You have to organize yourself - PR needs me for PR, and the licensing division needs me for licensing, the bridal people need me for bridal.
Vera Wang
When brides ask me, What's the best advice you can give me on my wedding day? I always have the same answer: Be yourself. Someone's marrying you, they love you for who you are, and they don't want you to be someone else.
Vera Wang
I make things of my own that aren't that glam, but I'm not known for that, which has always been a bit of a frustration for me.
Vera Wang
There was no relationship between a wedding dress and fashion. There was no good taste, either. I realized that I could make an impression in terms of changing and readdressing the whole industry of bridal.
Vera Wang
Brides today are increasingly sensitive to the tastes, feelings and finances of their attendants.
Vera Wang
I started at the very highest level so the upper end is something I know very well. I know it instinctively. But all the years I was designing, it frustrated me that I could reach so few women.

The way a dancer can bring the crowd to its feet with a drawn-out, well-executed pirouette is the excitement I wanted to capture with this design.
Vera Wang
It's hard to balance everything. It's always challenging.
Vera Wang
I work with structure, but I go outside the box and give it my own spin. I adore the challenge of creating truly modern clothes - where a woman's personality and sense of style are realized.
Vera Wang
I do speak Mandarin, and I also relate to the hunger that China has for culture and architecture and style.
Vera Wang
They never ask the celebrities why they don't wear their own clothes on the red carpet.
Vera Wang
When you love something, every day goes by in 10 minutes.
Vera Wang
The great thing about having a pool in L.A. is that I can use it year-round. And since I've always been an athlete, staying fit is very important.
Vera Wang
We got a lot of letters of people who didn't like them, like my own family who thought they were unnecessary and unpleasant and taking advantage of women in a sad situation - I never saw that. And I think that sometimes, you have to take a risk.
Vera Wang
I love a black wedding dress.
Vera Wang
Every woman hates her own body. I don't know a woman who doesn't . . . well, I do know a few who love themselves but in the case of most women it's like, ugh. And when I dress a woman, my design intention is to give them an attitude or a grace, no matter whether it's a wedding gown or ready-to-wear.
Vera Wang
I was trying to manage school and training for the Olympics and ended up not doing well at either. That was a big lesson in my life. My mother expected both.
Vera Wang
I brought color to bridal. There was one whole season of blush. If you think about the bareness, the illusion (fabric), the corsets that I did in bridal, they were trends in ready-to-wear, too.
Vera Wang
I was an art history major, but never specifically contemporary. I would say where I really stopped were the abstract expressionists in the New York school.
