Widely regarded as the most influential designer of luxurious wedding dresses, Vera Wang has spent more than 25 years in the fashion industry. She began with a 16-year tenure as senior fashion editor at Vogue and went on to serve as a design director for Ralph Lauren. In 1990 she ventured out on her own, opening a salon at the Carlyle Hotel to showcase her bridal collection. Her label quickly took off, earning praise from the fashion elite and sophisticated brides for its luxurious fabrics, exquisite detailing and contemporary interpretation of classic lines.

Vera Wang made her mark with wedding dresses, but today is equally renowned for modern, elegant and sophisticated eveningwear, ready-to-wear and accessories. Her special appeal to her clients has been fueled by an artistic and intellectual approach to design and an enormous respect for women. The style of Vera Wang is embraced by many of the world's most fashionable women, including Sharon Stone, Holly Hunter, Meg Ryan, Elisabeth Shue, Mariah Carey, Uma Thurman, Helen Hunt, Kate Capshaw, Charlize Theron, Tyra Banks, and Jane Fonda. All have worn Vera Wang designs and continue to collaborate with her on selections for some of their most important events and public appearances.
