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.

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.

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.

It's a remarkable exercise to sit and look at your own work over the years.

A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes.

They never ask the celebrities why they don't wear their own clothes on the red carpet.
Vera Wang
Image
I want people to see the dress, but focus on the woman.

The key is falling in love with something, anything. If your heart's attached to it, then your mind will be attached to it.
Vera Wang
Image
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.

Image
I was a total fashion insider who became an outsider when I did bridal.
Vera Wang
Image
I like the gritty parts of fashion, the design, the studio, the pictures.

All I did my first year at Vogue was Xerox.
