BACKSTORY: Vera Ellen Wang (Chinese: 王薇薇; pinyin: Wáng Wēiwēi; born June 27, 1949)^[2]is an American fashion designer. Wang initially pursued a career in figure skating before transitioning to fashion. She worked for Vogue and Ralph Lauren before launching her own bridal gown boutique in 1990.

Wang gained international recognition for her wedding dress designs. Her gowns have been worn by numerous celebrities. She expanded her brand to include ready-to-wear fashion, accessories, fragrances, and home goods. In December of 2024, Wang sold her namesake brand after 35 years in business to WHP Global.

In 1990, Wang opened her first design salon in the Carlyle Hotel in New York City that features her trademark bridal gowns.^[43]She has since opened bridal boutiques in New York, London, Tokyo, and Sydney and has also expanded her brand through her fragrance,^[44] jewelry, eyewear, shoes, and homeware collections.

“White by Vera Wang” launched on February 11, 2011, at David’s Bridal. Prices of the bridal gowns range from $600 to $1,400.^[45] In 2002, Wang began to enter the home fashion industry and launched The Vera Wang China and Crystal Collection,^[46]followed by the 2007 release of her diffusion line called Simply Vera, which are sold exclusively by Kohl’s.^[43]

In spring 2012, Wang teamed up with Men’s Wearhouse to offer two tuxedo styles available in both the retail and rental areas of their inventory.^[47] In June 2012, she expanded in Australia with the opening of “Vera Wang Bride Sydney” and her first Asian flagship store “Vera Wang Bridal Korea”, helmed by President Jung Mi-ri, in upmarket neighborhood Cheongdam-dong in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.^[48]

In a 2013 interview with CBS, Wang described her transition from journalist to businesswoman as “painful, and not only that, I have no choice. So I think when you start there’s a certain innocence because of that freedom, and as you evolve you begin to see the parameters of what you can and can’t do. So I make decisions that are very tiny that will affect an hour of work, I make decisions that will impact the lives of the people that work for me. It’s in fashion as well, micro work, a centimeter of proportion and then it’s macro to see what a vision is on the red carpet.”^[49] (SOURCE: Wikipedia)
