Vera Wang has become a significant figure in the American
fashion industry in a relatively short period of time. She has no formal design
training because her father wouldn’t let her go to art school and wanted her to
concentrate on more “practical subjects”. After earning a degree in liberal
arts, Vera worked as an editor at Vogue for 17 years and as a design director of
Ralph Lauren for two years. In 1990 she opened her first boutique(时尚 精品店)on
Madison Avenue in New York, in a less expensive line of ready-to-wear bridal and
evening dresses. She chose bridal wear for she wanted to build a fashion company
starting with one market and then expand into others. She became a household
name in 1994 when she designed stylish costumes(时尚束装)for figure skater Nancy
Kerrigan to wear in the Winter Olympics. Vera Wang
herself is a very good skater and she had Olympic dreams too. But that dream was
crushed when she did not win at the National Figure Skating Championships in
1968. However her love for the sport never ceased. “I want to make an artistic
contribution to the sport. ”she said. “I don’t know if designing costumes for
Nancy has been good in terms of actual sales, but it has been tremendous foe
name recognition. ”
