Is she going to, or has she done it? Has it happened? What is the story here?
Vera Wang
Image
It's hard to balance everything. It's always challenging.
Vera Wang
Image
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
Image
Service is a prerequisite for anything relating to luxury. That makes it (shopping) sensual and pleasurable.
Vera Wang
Image
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.
Vera Wang
Image
A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes.

Image
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.

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.

Image
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
Image
I like the gritty parts of fashion, the design, the studio, the pictures.
Vera Wang
Image
I was struggling to find a way to make evening clothes more deconstructed. I like to think that I translated the Latin concept in a more modern way. I don't think that I was that literal.
Vera Wang
Image
I do speak Mandarin, and I also relate to the hunger that China has for culture and architecture and style.
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.
Vera Wang
Image
I see myself as an arbiter of taste.
Vera Wang
Image
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.
Vera Wang
Image
The intricate engraving, fine lines, beading and milgrain accents echo an era defined by elaborate embellishments.
Vera Wang
Image
I love the focus and bravery of European designers, but I love the nonchalance and throwaway aspect of America that has made Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein two of the greatest icons. I try to bridge those two worlds in my work. The clothes may be couture on the runway but there's an attitude that's very street and that comes from America.
Vera Wang
Image
I wanted to define the vocabulary of a wedding both visually and intellectually. The book is about more than weddings or wedding dresses. It's a metaphor for women's lives, their creativity.
Vera Wang
Image
I was a total fashion insider who became an outsider when I did bridal.

They never ask the celebrities why they don't wear their own clothes on the red carpet.
