All those years of skating and dancing have carried over. I can't design anything without thinking of how a woman's body will look and move when she's wearing it.

More quotes by Vera Wang
Brides today are increasingly sensitive to the tastes, feelings and finances of their attendants.
Vera Wang
I don't live through my kids. But I do know what will happen in life, and I just want them well prepared.
Vera Wang
I love sportswear in my own weird way. Fashion is such a personal journey for me. I'm much more of a girl that's a T-shirt, legging, layering kind of thing, and outerwear.
Vera Wang
It's a remarkable exercise to sit and look at your own work over the years.
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 do think I know more about clothes than any 500 designers, because there's nothing like wearing them. You buy them, you study them, and you start to understand how they're crafted.
Vera Wang
Design is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one's head as a designer.
Vera Wang
My normal routine is pretty much putting out fires all day.
Vera Wang
One thing about skating that I don't think people focus on enough is the music factor. The music is a huge component of figure skating. It can dictate not only the choreography but the emotion. If it's not the right music it can ruin a performance.
Vera Wang
I love a black wedding dress.
Vera Wang
When you love something, every day goes by in 10 minutes.
Vera Wang
Success isn't about the end result it's about what you learn along the way.
Vera Wang
Don't be afraid to take time to learn. It's good to work for other people. I worked for others for 20 years. They paid me to learn.
Vera Wang
I'm not really a girl who likes to go out to lunch or cocktails or store openings.
Vera Wang
I've been designing since I was 8. I started sketching dresses I could wear when skating. I was always involved in all aspects of skating, not just the technique, the choreography, the music, but the visual aspects, too - what I should wear.
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
I see myself as an arbiter of taste.
Vera Wang
Is she going to, or has she done it? Has it happened? What is the story here?
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
Figure skating has been a great influence for me. I took dance at the School of American Ballet, which helped my own skating. And whether you are a skater or a dancer, without sounding narcissistic, it is all about looking in the mirror.
