I'm not really a girl who likes to go out to lunch or cocktails or store openings.
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
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.
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.

I want people to see the dress, but focus on the woman.
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.

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.

Just because you're from a city ten miles outside of St. Paul. It doesn't mean you don't read magazines, or the incredible Internet, and what's going on in the world. I never, ever take a client, or women, for granted.

Ready-to-wear is what I've wanted to do since the beginning. ... I'm not a girl who spends my life in a ballgown
Vera Wang
Image
I see myself as an arbiter of taste.
Vera Wang
Image
I started at the very highest level so the upper end is something I know very well. I know it instinctively. But all the years I was designing, it frustrated me that I could reach so few women.
Vera Wang
Image
I was a total fashion insider who became an outsider when I did bridal.
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
Brides today are increasingly sensitive to the tastes, feelings and finances of their attendants.
Vera Wang
Image
I like the gritty parts of fashion, the design, the studio, the pictures.
Vera Wang
Image
I don't live through my kids. But I do know what will happen in life, and I just want them well prepared.
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.

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.

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.

New York for me is about work. If L.A. were to become a West Coast version of that, I'd shoot myself. The climate, the lifestyle - it really fits as the yin to my New York yang.
