Is she going to, or has she done it? Has it happened? What is the story here?
Vera Wang
Image
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.

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.
