ABOUT VERA

Vera Wang has created a unique aspirational world that alludes to sensuality and youthful sophistication. Exquisite details, intricate draping, and a nonchalant sense of style characterize the Vera Wang aesthetic.

Vera Wang, a native New Yorker, understands women who embrace fashion. By age 23, Vera was the youngest ever Vogue fashion editor and stylist, where she remained for 16 years before moving to Ralph Lauren as a design director. In 1990, Vera Wang opened her first flagship store on Manhattan’s famed Madison Avenue, introducing fashion to the bridal industry with revolutionary designs and refined detailing. Since then she has expanded her collections globally to include ready-to-wear, footwear, eyewear, jewelry, fragrance, fine china and crystal, silver and gifts, bedding, fine papers, and her first book, Vera Wang On Weddings.

Vera Wang has won numerous accolades within the fashion industry and beyond. In 2013, Vera Wang was honored with the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award
by the Council of Fashion Designers of America. She was honored by the Council again in 2023 with a Board of Director’s Tribute for her transformative contribution to the bridal industry.

In 2017, Vera was awarded the prestigious Legion of Honor, an order of distinction by the Republic of France.

In 2021, Vera was awarded the National Medal of Arts from President Biden for her pioneering vision which has reshaped fashion in America. 2024 marks Vera Wang’s 35th Anniversary as a brand, a celebration of over three decades spent at the forefront of fashion.

Vera Wang is also a proud philanthropist and dedicated to supporting causes such as the Breast Cancer Research Fund and the Youth Anxiety Center. Her proudest accomplishment remains being a mother to her daughters, Cecilia and Josephine.
