To me, eyewear goes way beyond being a prescription. It's like makeup. It's the most incredible accessory. The shape of a frame or the color of lenses can change your whole appearance.

A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes.

The key is falling in love with something, anything. If your heart's attached to it, then your mind will be attached to it.

As the mother of two daughters, I have great respect for women. And I don't ever want to lose that.

When I decided to get married at 40, I couldn't find a dress with the modernity or sophistication I wanted. That's when I saw the opportunity for a wedding gown business.

Vera Wang

I see myself as a true modernist. Even when I do a traditional gown, I give it a modern twist. I go to the past for research. I need to know what came before so I can break the rules.

Vera Wang

I work with structure, but I go outside the box and give it my own spin. I adore the challenge of creating truly modern clothes - where a woman's personality and sense of style are realized.

It's for all the women who embrace my aesthetic, but can't afford a Vera Wang dress. If women can get anything out of it - a little bit of me or a lot of me, that's what's important.

Vera Wang

My bedroom is my sanctuary. It's like a refuge, and it's where I do a fair amount of designing - at least conceptually, if not literally.

Vera Wang

I wanted to define the vocabulary of a wedding both visually and intellectually. The book is about more than weddings or wedding dresses. It's a metaphor for women's lives, their creativity.

I like the gritty parts of fashion, the design, the studio, the pictures.

Vera Wang

I was an art history major, but never specifically contemporary. I would say where I really stopped were the abstract expressionists in the New York school.

Vera Wang

I've always tried to push myself technically and to push myself visually. That's been part of the journey.

Vera Wang

When you have a passion for something then you tend not only to be better at it, but you work harder at it too.
