Vera Wang ♥

Those who know me well know that I am in love with Vera Wang! Thus, this blog ♥

Vera Ellen Wang was born and raised in New York City and is of Chinese descent. Her parents were born in China, and came to the United States in the mid-1940s. 
Beginning in 1970, Wang was a senior fashion editor for Vogue but left Vogue after being turned down for the editor-in-chief position currently filled by Anna Wintour and joined Ralph Lauren as a design director for two years. 
Wang has made wedding gowns for many well-known public figures, such as Chelsea Clinton, Ivanka Trump, Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Victoria Beckham, Avril Lavigne, Hilary Duff, Khloe Kardashian and Kim Kardashian. Wang's evening wear has also been worn by Michelle Obama and we have seen several artists wearing Vera Wang at Red Carpet Events.
