Vera Wang is just about the most famous designer when it comes to wedding gowns. In fact, it wouldn’t be surprising that many Hollywood brides would want their wedding gown to be designed by Wang. This is because Wang has certainly built a strong reputation for herself in the industry. Interestingly, Wang’s first love is not really bridal fashion. Rather, it was ice skating that first caught the fancy of Wang, which she ultimately gave up to focus on her career in fashion. More interestingly, it was her own futile search for the perfect gown for her own wedding that provoked Wang to design her own wedding gown. Since then, she has become the largest name in bridal fashion industry.
Wang’s first ever job in the fashion industry was actually at the fashion magazine Vogue. She became the assistant to then fashion director Polly Mellen. During her time there, she studied everything that she could about the industry, and it did not take long for her to become the fashion director of the magazine itself, at the young age of 23. She stayed in the position for 16 long years, but then realized that she wasn’t really focusing on designing clothes as planned. She decided to leave her job at Vogue and became a designer for accessories at Ralph Lauren.
Now that she had time for a more personal life, it was then that she met Arthur Becker, whom she wed in the late 1980s. While going through numerous wedding magazines in search for the perfect wedding gown, Wang was quite dismayed because the gowns did not have anything special to them. She then felt that strong itch to fill what was missing. In 1990, Wang launched her own business through the financial backing of her father. It did not take long for the business to make waves, primarily because Wang took to more than preparing just the wedding gown for the bride. Shoes, jewelry, hairstyles, and more were handled by Wang as well.
Soon after, Wang expanded her market to evening wear, and has designed dresses for many Hollywood stars, including Meg Ryan, Whoopi Goldberg, Helen Hunt, Holly Hunter, and Charlize Theron. She also released her signature fragrance in the spring of 2002 and has since then been the favorite of millions worldwide.
