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.

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.

Image
I was a total fashion insider who became an outsider when I did bridal.

Image
When I design a wedding dress with a bustle, it has to be one the bride can dance in. I love the idea that something is practical and still looks great.
Vera Wang
Image
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
It's hard to balance everything. It's always challenging.
Vera Wang
Image
I always see where I didn't do things the right way. I only see the heavy lifting. That's a bit of my wisdom, if you want to call it that.
Vera Wang
Image
Fashion to me has become very disposable I wanted to get back to craft, to clothes that could last.

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.

Image
I've been designing since I was 8. I started sketching dresses I could wear when skating. I was always involved in all aspects of skating, not just the technique, the choreography, the music, but the visual aspects, too - what I should wear.

Even the most understated ceremony involves a certain respect for ritual and pageantry. No one plays more of a significant role than the bride's attendants.

I'm only waiting for Lindsay Lohan's fashion collection to come out. Ten years from now, there may be no real designers left.
Vera Wang
Image
I was stigmatized by being a bridal designer for a long time. I am amazed I have been able to move beyond it. I had really all but given up trying, but I did it because it was my lifelong dream.
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
I am not the sort of woman who would wear high heels with a bathing suit. Let's get that straight right now.
Vera Wang
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The intricate engraving, fine lines, beading and milgrain accents echo an era defined by elaborate embellishments.
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 work with structure, but I go outside the box and give it my own spin. I adore the challenge of creating truly modern clothes - where a woman's personality and sense of style are realized.
Vera Wang
Image
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.
