about
A bride needs to budget more for herself if she wants to walk down the aisle in a wedding dress from Vera Wang Bridal House. With gowns reaching $20,000, Vera Wang has designed bridal gowns for celebrities, such as Sharon Stone and Mariah Carey. Vera Wang also designs evening gowns, bridesmaid dresses, and sportswear, and licenses its name for other apparel, china, crystal, eyewear, footwear, fragrances, jewelry, linens, silver, and more. Products are sold through upscale department stores, specialty stores, and two company-owned boutiques in New York City. Chairman, CEO, and owner Vera Wang founded the firm in 1990. A former ice skater, Wang also designs costumes for former Olympic skater Nancy Kerrigan.
The Vera Wang name is synonymous with elegant, understated gowns constructed from the finest fabrics.
Her bridal gowns are what Vera Wang is famous for. She uses rich fabrics such as silk lace and duchesses satin, in the tradition of Paris couture and applies them to the simple shapes associated with American sportswear, like the vest dress.
