About VERA WANG Fragrances
Vera Wang was born on June 27, 1949 in
New York. She came from an affluent
family and at an early age was exposed to
the fashion shows in Paris. Vera attended
The Chapin School as well as the Soborne
in Paris. She also trained as a figure skater
and competed in the 1968 U. S. Figure
Skating Championships. Unfortunately, her
career as a figure skater was short lived.
Vera went on to graduate from Sarah
Lawrence with a degree in Art History.
At the age of 23, Vera went to work for
Vogue as a senior fashion editor. She
remained at Vogue for 16 years until she
was passed over for the position as editor
in chief. Vera left Vogue and went to work
for Ralph Lauren as a design director. In
1990, Vera launched her own design salon
at the Carlyle Hotel in New York. She was
now able to expose the world to her
trademark bridal gowns. Vera's gowns
became an instant success and sold to
some of the most well known Hollywood
stars including Jessica Simpson, Victoria
Beckham, Sharon Stone and Karenna
Gore.
Vera Wang went on to expand her design
house to include fashion accessories,
fragrances, jewelry, eyewear, shoes and
houseware. Her fist perfume, Vera Wang,
was launched in 2004. This fragrance
contains a blend of Bulgarian rose, calla
lily and mandarin flower. It represents
Vera with its elegance and grace. Following
the launch of the women's Vera Wang a
men's cologne was introduced also titled
Vera Wang. This cologne contains a blend
of nutmeg and spice. Vera Wang went on
to launch Sheer Veil in 2005. Sheer Veil is
a perfume which contains a blend of
champagne rose and lavender dream. The
latest perfume designed by Vera Wang is
Truly Pink. Truly Pink is a pink fragrance in
every sense of the word. It contains a
blend of white freesia, cassis, lychee
blossom and pink rose. This perfume was
designed with a blushing spring bride in
mind.
It is no surprise that Vera Wang has seen
success in all areas of her design house.
She has managed to break past being
seen as just a bridal gown designer to
being seen as a designer of multiple
facets.
