A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes.
VERA WANGA woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes.
VERA WANGI 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 WANGIs she going to, or has she done it? Has it happened? What is the story here?
VERA WANGJust 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.
VERA WANGAs the mother of two daughters, I have great respect for women. And I don’t ever want to lose that.
VERA WANGIt takes tremendous will to compete in any athletic endeavor, so it meant going to bed early and getting my homework done in advance. I had to sacrifice things, like a social life, to be a skater at 15. But I loved skating so much that it was worth everything to me.
VERA WANGI love a black wedding dress.
VERA WANGThe funny thing is that I’m the girl who no one sees at the beach. Ask anyone who’s traveled with me. Normally, I’m in so many layers, I look like Lawrence of Arabia!
VERA WANGTo me, eyewear goes way beyond being a prescription. It’s like makeup. It’s the most incredible accessory. The shape of a frame or the color of lenses can change your whole appearance.
VERA WANGWhen you love something, every day goes by in 10 minutes.
VERA WANGI brought color to bridal. There was one whole season of blush. If you think about the bareness, the illusion (fabric), the corsets that I did in bridal, they were trends in ready-to-wear, too.
VERA WANGI like the gritty parts of fashion, the design, the studio, the pictures.
VERA WANGDesign is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one’s head as a designer.
VERA WANGI 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 WANGI’m not really a girl who likes to go out to lunch or cocktails or store openings.
VERA WANGI 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.
