Do you remember the episode from the movie about brides with Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson, where the main character says that Vera Wang’s dresses don’t fit the bride, but the girls fit themselves into the dresses.
This is partly true: Vera’s wedding dresses really require a perfect figure. And everything is logical: the fashion designer is simply inspired by … himself.
Every time Vera Wang celebrates her birthday, we get a bit of a shock.
How, well, how can you look like this at 72?! Moreover, the designer leads such a lifestyle, as if not straining at all. Here she is standing by the pool as if by chance showing off model legs (remember, in her eighties), and after that, with a light gait, she heads to her office and creates another wow wedding dress design. And Vera celebrates the New Year in such heels that even Jennifer Lopez in the movie “Hustlers” would envy. And not just meets, but calmly walks in such. And in a cropped top showing off iron abs. But how?!
When asked about what allowed Wong to “mothball” her youth, she playfully replies: “Work, sleep, vodka cocktails, and minimal sun exposure.” But this, of course, is flirting, flirting – the fashion designer perfectly understands why everyone is so delighted with her appearance. In fact, there is a lot of work and limitations behind this fragile figure and model parameters. “I only drink water. I gave up Diet Coke about seven years ago, although it was almost unrealistic – all fashionable New York loves Diet Coke, ”admits Vera. Isn’t it boring for her to drink only water when everyone around is ordering coffee and lemonade? No. After all, Wong has a “forbidden locker.”
In her house, there is a special corner where the designer keeps the “forbidden”, which he calls orange food. These are corn flakes, chips, crackers – in general, everything that is covered with an unnecessary layer of spices. Vera rarely allows herself to look into this warehouse of hazards, mostly preferring sashimi, broccoli, chicken, salads, and fish. And what about sports? “My colleagues in the fashion business are literally obsessed with the perfect form, and I have to follow their example,” says Wong. – I exercise every day, although I do not exhaust myself with long physical exercises. To be honest, I don’t really like playing sports.
But this is also a little slyness: although the fashion designer does not like running and avoids the treadmill in every possible way (she gets on it only for the sake of photography or in a hopeless situation), she works out with dumbbells every day, and she does not miss cycling. Thus, she achieves skin tone and a toned figure without pumped muscles. “All I do is apply Johnson’s baby oil on my body and Clinique moisturizer on my face,” Vera admits. We don’t know if this is true or all the same flirting, but we really want to believe the unfading Wong!
