More quotes by Vera Wang
New York for me is about work. If L.A. were to become a West Coast version of that, I'd shoot myself. The climate, the lifestyle - it really fits as the yin to my New York yang.
Vera Wang
I want people to see the dress, but focus on the woman.
Vera Wang
I hate phones. All businesses are personal businesses, and I always try my best to get back to people, but sometimes the barrage of calls is so enormous that if I just answered calls I would do nothing else.
Vera Wang
My mother was extremely controlled, sort of flawless. And I always tend to be a bit more hippie.
Vera Wang
I do speak Mandarin, and I also relate to the hunger that China has for culture and architecture and style.
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
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.

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
When you have a passion for something then you tend not only to be better at it, but you work harder at it too.
Vera Wang
I've always tried to push myself technically and to push myself visually. That's been part of the journey.
Vera Wang
Although in skating you compete with other people, anyone who achieves a certain level of success is first and foremost competing against themselves. And for me the idea that I could always do better, learn more, learn faster, is something that came from skating. But I carried that with me for the rest of my life.
Vera Wang
It's a remarkable exercise to sit and look at your own work over the years.
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'm not really a girl who likes to go out to lunch or cocktails or store openings.
Vera Wang
All I did my first year at Vogue was Xerox.
Vera Wang
My closet is organized by tops, pants, and outerwear, but not a lot of dresses. Gowns are in another room because I don't often dress formally, even though I design gowns. Like most designers, I have a uniform, and mine is a legging.
Vera Wang
People get very trapped where they are. When they hear 'fashion' they get intimidated, particularly at the upper end because it's so elitist.
Vera Wang
My bedroom is my sanctuary. It's like a refuge, and it's where I do a fair amount of designing - at least conceptually, if not literally.
Vera Wang
Bridal is always about who you are as a person and as a woman and as a lover and as a mate. People always ask me how a woman can pick just one dress. And the funny thing is they always know.
Vera Wang
I wanted to breathe new life into the timeless trend of past, present and future. These unique designs celebrate the bride and groom's passage through their new life together.
