More quotes by Vera Wang
Fashion to me has become very disposable I wanted to get back to craft, to clothes that could last.
Vera Wang
When I decided to get married at 40, I couldn't find a dress with the modernity or sophistication I wanted. That's when I saw the opportunity for a wedding gown business.
Vera Wang
I've always tried to push myself technically and to push myself visually. That's been part of the journey.
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
A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes.
Vera Wang
The way a dancer can bring the crowd to its feet with a drawn-out, well-executed pirouette is the excitement I wanted to capture with this design.
Vera Wang
Is she going to, or has she done it? Has it happened? What is the story here?
Vera Wang
I'm not really a girl who likes to go out to lunch or cocktails or store openings.
Vera Wang
As the mother of two daughters, I have great respect for women. And I don't ever want to lose that.
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
I want people to see the dress, but focus on the woman.
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 see myself as an arbiter of taste.
Vera Wang
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
I see myself as a true modernist. Even when I do a traditional gown, I give it a modern twist. I go to the past for research. I need to know what came before so I can break the rules.
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.
Vera Wang
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
I like the gritty parts of fashion, the design, the studio, the pictures.
Vera Wang
It's for all the women who embrace my aesthetic, but can't afford a Vera Wang dress. If women can get anything out of it - a little bit of me or a lot of me, that's what's important.
Vera Wang
I make things of my own that aren't that glam, but I'm not known for that, which has always been a bit of a frustration for me.
