Vera Wang

I like the gritty parts of fashion, the design, the studio, the pictures. ↗

I 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. ↗

I see myself as a true modernist. Even when I do a traditional gown, I give it a modern twist. I go to the past for research. I need to know what came before so I can break the rules. ↗

I see myself as an arbiter of taste. ↗

I 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. ↗

I was the girl who nobody thought would ever get married. I was going to be a fashion nun the rest of my life. There are generations of them, those fashion nuns, living, eating, breathing clothes. ↗

I was trying to manage school and training for the Olympics and ended up not doing well at either. That was a big lesson in my life. My mother expected both. ↗

I work with structure, but I go outside the box and give it my own spin. I adore the challenge of creating truly modern clothes - where a woman's personality and sense of style are realized. ↗

I'm not really a girl who likes to go out to lunch or cocktails or store openings. ↗
