From Vera Wang

Although in skating you compete with other people, anyone who achieves a certain level of success is first and foremost competing against themselves. And for me the idea that I could always do better, learn more, learn faster, is something that came from skating. But I carried that with me for the rest of my life.

From Vera Wang

Fashion to me has become very disposable; I wanted to get back to craft, to clothes that could last.

From Vera Wang

It's hard to balance everything. It's always challenging.

From Vera Wang

It takes tremendous will to compete in any athletic endeavor, so it meant going to bed early and getting my homework done in advance. I had to sacrifice things, like a social life, to be a skater at 15. But I loved skating so much that it was worth everything to me.

From Vera Wang

Just because you're from a city ten miles outside of St. Paul. It doesn't mean you don't read magazines, or the incredible Internet, and what's going on in the world. I never, ever take a client, or women, for granted.

From Vera Wang

Even the most understated ceremony involves a certain respect for ritual and pageantry. No one plays more of a significant role than the bride's attendants.

From Vera Wang

All I did my first year at Vogue was Xerox.

From Vera Wang

My mother is the reason I'm in fashion. She worshiped it. Unfortunately, she infected me.
