"All those years of skating and dancing have carried over. I can't design anything without thinking of how a woman's body will look and move when she's wearing it."
Vera Wang"When I design a wedding dress with a bustle, it has to be one the bride can dance in. I love the idea that something is practical and still looks great."
Vera Wang"Design 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 Wang"As the mother of two daughters, I have great respect for women. And I don't ever want to lose that."
Vera Wang"Success isn't about the end result, it's about what you learn along the way."
Vera Wang"When I decided to get married at 40, I couldn't find a dress with the modernity or sophistication I wanted. That's when I saw the opportunity for a wedding gown business."
Vera Wang"I love a black wedding dress."
Vera Wang"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."
Vera Wang"I wanted to define the vocabulary of a wedding both visually and intellectually. The book is about more than weddings or wedding dresses. It's a metaphor for women's lives, their creativity."
