Description
Born to wealthy and accomplished Chinese immigrants, Vera Wang was given nearly every opportunity in life. But when the budding skater failed to realize her dream of making the US Olympic team, she turned to a career in fashion. Wang has since become one of the worlds most accomplished fashion designers, creating wedding gowns for celebrities and figure skating costumes for gold medal winners. Riveting text, full-color photos, and inspirational direct quotations will make it clear to readers exactly why Vera Wang is an influential Asian.
