Vera Wang: A Passion for Bridal and Lifestyle Design - Children's Literature
In 1968 a major magazine featured an up-and coming teenager—Vera Wang. Ironically, that magazine wasn’t one that most Vera Wang fans would think of when they think of the iconic fashion designer. Instead, it was Sports Illustrated. The fact that she was quite a figure skater in her younger years is just one of the things you learn about Vera Wang. In this biography readers will learn how she got started in the design business and tidbits about the changing world of fashion and design. Back and front matter include a chronology, a glossary, further information, and an index. This is a great book to introduce the life of Vera Wang.
