Vera Wang was born into a wealthy family of Chinese immigrants in New York City in 1949. She started her career as a professional figure skater from a young age and decided to go into fashion after failing to make the US Olympic team. She worked as an editor at Vogue magazine for 17 years, becoming the youngest editor in the history of the magazine at the time.
She left Vogue to work for Ralph Lauren, and then decided in 1989 to start her own independent bridal company. Known for balancing modern designs with traditional elegance, Wang is arguably the most prominent designer of bridalwear in America. After her amazing success in bridalwear, she introduced a ready-to-wear line in 2004.
She has dressed countless stars for weddings and red carpets in her ultra-elegant, custom-made gowns including Chelsea Clinton, Ivanka Trump, Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Victoria Beckham, Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian and Michelle Obama.
