La Vera Wang..

One of my all time favorite designers is Vera Wang. The detail and elegance she adds to her gowns, really makes them a piece of art. Did you know that Vera Wang was a successful figure skater before she ever designed clothes? During her young adult years Wang was a very talented figure skater and won various awards. It wasn't until she was a "bride to be" that she began her career as a designer. When dress hunting for her gown she was disappointed by the fact that dresses of her liking were limited and very hard to find.  She then took the initiative to design her own dress, and payed a good $10,000 dollars to have a dressmaker tailer her dream gown. After working for Vogue Magazine as Senior Fashion Editor for fifteen years, this is when she decided it was time to open her own boutique. After living a pampered life growing up, Vera Wang still worked hard to accomplish her own goals. She is truly a designer I admire. Today, Vera Wang is well-known for her excellent bridal gown collection and for her signature detail.
