Vera Wang Has a Lineup of Famous Dresses♡

Vera Wang is renowned as a wedding dress brand.

✓ Ballerina

✓ Pink Hailey

✓ Lizelle

And many others, there are lots of globally famous designs that everyone knows and loves♡

It's rare to find a brand where each individual dress has a widely known and deeply beloved name, and I think Vera Wang might just be that brand. It has core fans and boasts unwavering popularity!＊

What Kind of Person is Designer Vera Wang?

Do you know what kind of person the designer who created the renowned Vera Wang brand is?

The founder and designer, Vera Wang, was born on June 27, 1949, and is of Chinese-American descent＊

Now 69 years old, she is a woman known for her beautiful long black hair.

She hails from the bustling metropolis of New York City.

Her father was the owner of a chemical company, and her mother often took Vera Wang to fashion shows in Paris, allowing her to grow up in a wealthy family.

She possesses a beauty that defies her 69 years.

In Her Childhood, She Learned Figure Skating＊

Although not widely known, Vera Wang actually trained in figure skating during her childhood.

She was so skilled that she even competed in the U.S. Championships but was not selected for the American team,

eventually enrolling at Sarah Lawrence College to enter the fashion industry she had always loved＊

(If she had become a representative of the USA in figure skating and succeeded... the Vera Wang brand might not have been born...)

When you think about it, life’s timing and turning points can be quite fateful, can't they?＊

By the way, Vera Wang designed the costumes for Nathan Chen, the U.S. representative in figure skating at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics.

It seems she still has a fondness for figure skating♡

It's Famous That She Worked at Vogue Magazine for 16 Years＊

After graduating from Sarah Lawrence College, she built her career as an editor at Vogue America for 16 years＊

She left the company in the year when Anna Wintour, often referred to as the empress of the fashion world (the model for the character of the editor in "The Devil Wears Prada"), took office, and after working as a designer at Ralph Lauren for two years,

in 1990, she finally opened her own brand, Vera Wang, named after herself in the Carlisle Hotel in New York City♩

It’s a five-star hotel that has hosted royal families like Princess Diana and Prince Charles.

What About Her Private Life?

In 1990, at the age of 40, Vera Wang launched her wedding dress brand.

In her private life, she married a man named Arthur Becker in 1989, one year before founding her brand, and they adopted two girls.

The details of their meeting and how they got together have not been disclosed, but it is rumored that since he worked at an investment company, he provided business support for Vera Wang's growth＊

However, they unexpectedly divorced in 2012, six years ago, ending their 23-year marriage.

According to American gossip magazines, there are reports that Vera Wang is now living with 36-year-old figure skater Evan Lysacek?

He is a popular athlete who won a gold medal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

Since they celebrated Vera Wang's birthday together, it has piqued some curiosity＊

Launched "White by Vera Wang" in 2011＊

Back to her work＊

Vera Wang, who continued to expand her wedding dress brand, launched "White by Vera Wang" in 2011.

The reasonably priced wedding dresses, costing around 70,000 to 80,000 yen, were loved by brides all over the world♡

Now, she also designs and sells accessories, small items, perfumes, and shoes.

Keep an Eye on Vera Wang's Future♩

Internationally, she has dressed celebrities like Mariah Carey, Victoria Beckham, and Vivian Hsu,

while in Japan, she has been the talk of the town for dressing Rinka and Satomi Ishihara in the drama "Shitsuren Chocolatier"♩
