It’s never too late to change your career, says Fashion Creator Vera Wang – BBC News in Serbian
Vera Wang may be most famous for making some of the most memorable wedding dresses of all time.
Marka Keri, Victoria Bekam, Sara Michel Gar and Alisha Kiz are just some of the women who chose this fashion creator for their important day.
The fact that the fashion design was not less famous for her first trip to the world of fashion … and even others.
In conversation with BBC journalist Kati Kay for the series influential (Influential), Wang shared details on a long personal journey, from work for American vog to make her own fashion creations adorn the same page.
Wang revealed that, like a character from a television series, her life had a whole series of ranks and that each contained the spirit of the passage of time that was overhanging over her.
Like a teenager, the fashion creator wanted to be the Olympic Skater, but failed to enter the best.
She then employed as a fashion editor in Voga immediately after graduating in the College of Sara Lawrence, in New York, entering history at 23. years.
« I was probably the youngest woman who got the title of the editor. Probably until the day of today, » says Wang.
She spent 17 years, but as during the period she spent on Ice, Wang says her skill could always be measured with her passion.
She never qualified for the 1968 Olympic Games. Years in Grenoble and never managed to reach the position of the main and responsible editor.
« Some of the things I was most adored, and by that, I think passionately loved, are not necessarily areas where I was successful, » she says.
It was only 49 years old, when Vog and position in Ralph Loren were already behind her, she launched the same change in the fashion label.
The wedding dress collections were just the beginning.
In the end, her brand has expanded so as to include confection clothing, shoes, sunglasses, expensive jewelry, home supplies, and even its own average.
When she became too old for ice skating and the glamorous world of magazines, Wang said, which steps could be next to her, even before the idea would put her own name on anything, let alone at all possible.
« Women are considered invisible in certain years, even in terms of careers, » says Wang.
« You will stop career. And I don’t just think about when you work as a model. I don’t just think about it, » she added, explaining the quay to outlay these alleged duration.
« The secret is not in old age, but in style. And so I always felt. There was never time when I wasn’t feeling that way. »
When she decided to start working with wedding dresses, Wang recalled access to her own wedding.
In 1989, Vang married investor Artur P. Becker (in the meantime they parted) and he had only one request from her for the ceremony itself.
« Please don’t come ‘modern’. Please look like a bride. I want to make sure you look like a bride, » Wang recalled as he told her.
She wouldn’t be satisfied that she just followed the protocol.
Oging his own Chinese origin in the ceremony, which was interverse and inspired by the Baptist and Jewish tradition, unconsciously helped the popularization of the trend to be fed solemnly.
« I changed to the wedding, because in Chinese culture, you change from Western wedding dresses in Chinese dress. But I changed in a party dress. I launched a change in 1989. years, » Vang says, « says Wang.
The tradition of clothing for « departure » of the root is pulled out of the thirties.
It was generally more comfortable clothes for the brides in which they could pretobrose to say goodbye to the guests before they make a honeymoon.
The choice of Vera Wang to wear something more solemn in the meantime became more widespread.
Famous brides, from the Princess of Wales (then Duchess of Cambridge) and Princess Eugin, to American Actress Mendi Moore, often decided for another dress for their evening reception.
What she did on her own wedding will be the feature of the classic move of Vera Wang and the forwards of non-compliance with the otherwise a stiff wedding fashion, her clients felt it if they decided to one of Vera Wang wedding dresses.
« My first client was Ethel Kennedy. Her son Max married a lawyer, working on that dress and within ten minutes after the ceremony, she was sparking the ball with the Kennedy’s brothers, » Vang said.
Vera Wang became equally noticed as her clientele thanks to a recognizable appearance and public network publishing
Today at 75. years, Wang is perfectly aware of its age, and these years are the topic of conversation around her.
She told Kay that she noticed a change in some people and that they were more critical of others and her today, which is a trend that blames the popularity of social networks.
Instead of focusing on how they are experiencing others while the old, Wang points out that as they managed in various stages of career and life, focuses on their passions and not what she sees in the mirror.
It was a privilege, she recalls the time in which she was old.
« We didn’t have social networks and didn’t take everyone in your eyes, and not everyone was critically mood for everything, » she says for the BBC.
« The point was more about finding your own path. »
When she looked back on the nineties and two, adds, adds, « I don’t see that obsession with an aging that I feel in the last two decades. »
However, the appearance of Vera Wang on the red carpet and publishing on social networks proves that he does not carefully carefully care for years.
It remained faithful to the platforms to heaven, micro-mini skirts and long, narrow silhouettes that were characteristic of its creations and personal appearances during decades.
She says Kay that her age does not affect how they will dress – and never even influenced.
