A native New Yorker who spent her career at the forefront of fashion, Vera Wang began a sweeping makeover of the bridal industry in 1990 with the opening of her flagship salon. Vera Wang continues to showcase collections known for sophisticated drama, feminine detailing and a modern approach to bridal design. Vera Wang is all about luxury, each Vera Wang wedding dress features rich fabrics, exquisite detailing and expert craftsmanship.
Appearing on the red carpet as often as she does the wedding aisle, Vera Wang has been infusing high fashion into the wedding world since her first New York bridal boutique opened in 1990. Initially seeking to bring a more modern look what she saw as a stagnant bridal industry at the time, Vera Wang has created a brand that still holds true to that design aesthetic today and has become the gold standard in wedding day fashion.
Wearing a dress with the VW label instills a sense of luxury, exclusivity and above all: understated modern elegance. From the couture designs in the Madison Avenue flagship boutique to the more affordable diffusion Vera Wang White line at David's Bridal, her signature look is available in a wide range of pricing, making owning their dream gown a reality for more brides these days.
Labelled a romantic by Vogue and New York Magazine, in the past Vera has used history and the world of sports to influence designs, but she says she also looks to women themselves as inspiration. Her collections combine classic materials and traditional bridal shapes with unique details and experimentation with textures while celebrating the feminine form and classic bridal style. As a journalist who became the youngest editor in Vogue's history, Vera Wang has described herself as a rule breaker and a fashion designer who works in the wedding industry, not just a bridal gown designer.
Even with classic looks as her hallmark, Wang has never shied away from experimenting with the bold , pushing the envelope by presenting classic ballroom shapes and textiles paired with saucy elbow length gloves and black leather accents in a decidedly edgy collection. She has also created gowns in bright, bold hues, showing the world, once again, that Vera Wang is truly an industry innovator.
Overall, the body flattering dresses remain timeless, heirloom even, balancing minimal modern design with classic fabrics, exquisite detailing, layering and whimsical additions that make the gowns stand out from the pack.Signature touches like impossible layers of ruffles, beaded belts, over-sized bow backs and asymmetry do not overwhelm the designs or make them cliche, but do often make them show-stopping one of a kind gowns. And what bride doesn't want that on her wedding day?
Another trademark of the designs from the “Vera Wang Gang” is the ability to appeal to the styles of many different brides. An ever growing list of celebrities have been wed in Wang's sleek, chic gowns: singers, starlets, models, socialites and even those in the political realm. Proof that the romantic gowns appeal to all women of discerning tastes, body types, budgets and styles.

Vera Wang has gone cowgirl. Few designers are more closely associated with New York, but on a Zoom call, Wang insisted she’s not unfamiliar with the American frontier. As an aspiring Olympian, she was a summer skater in Aspen and other points west. Her memories of family trips to those places, mixed with a fair bit of lockdown-time wanderlust and old-movie watching (Urban Cowboy, Val Kilmer in Tombstone), sparked her imagination. Her new collection is a mix of “saloon girl” dresses with puff sleeves, hip-high slits, spills of ruffles, and the occasional bare back and lace capes, bustiers, and peignoirs.
