There is no other fashion designer in that world that is as synonymous with wedding dresses and nuptial ceremonies as Vera Wang. The 62 year-old designer was a senior fashion editor at Vogue US for 16 years before leaving the magazine in 1985 after being turned down for the editor in chief position (currently filled by Anna Wintour) and joined Ralph Lauren as a design director for two years.
In 1990, Vera Wang opened her first design salon in New York City, which housed her famous wedding gowns. She has designed wedding dresses for some of the world's top celebrities, including Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Victoria Beckham, Avril Lavigne, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Garner, Sharon Stone, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Hilary Duff, Uma Thurman, Holly Hunter, Kate Hudson and even Chelsea Clinton and Ivanka Trump.
Most recently, Kim Kardashian famously wore three different Vera Wang dresses at her wedding this past August. Check out this gallery of gorgeous gowns for an in-depth look at the stunning work of the designer.
