I'm not really a girl who likes to go out to lunch or cocktails or store openings.
Vera Wang
Image
I was the girl who nobody thought would ever get married. I was going to be a fashion nun the rest of my life. There are generations of them, those fashion nuns, living, eating, breathing clothes.

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.

Success isn't about the end result it's about what you learn along the way.

The intricate engraving, fine lines, beading and milgrain accents echo an era defined by elaborate embellishments.

People get very trapped where they are. When they hear fashion they get intimidated, particularly at the upper end because it's so elitist. If you can bring your own concept or your viewpoint and translate it not down but out, then you're really successful in the truest sense.

Every woman hates her own body. I don't know a woman who doesn't . . . well, I do know a few who love themselves but in the case of most women it's like, ugh. And when I dress a woman, my design intention is to give them an attitude or a grace, no matter whether it's a wedding gown or ready-to-wear.

I've always tried to push myself technically and to push myself visually. That's been part of the journey.

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.

Service is a prerequisite for anything relating to luxury. That makes it (shopping) sensual and pleasurable.

Image
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.

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.

Image
A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes.
Vera Wang
Image
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.
Vera Wang
Image
My bedroom is my sanctuary. It's like a refuge, and it's where I do a fair amount of designing - at least conceptually, if not literally.
Vera Wang
Image
Fashion to me has become very disposable I wanted to get back to craft, to clothes that could last.
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.

Although in skating you compete with other people, anyone who achieves a certain level of success is first and foremost competing against themselves. And for me the idea that I could always do better, learn more, learn faster, is something that came from skating. But I carried that with me for the rest of my life.

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.

My normal routine is pretty much putting out fires all day.
