Vera Wang has extended her brand from wedding dress to perfume. She wants to be not only a designer but also an authority on taste and style. Ms. Wang, known for her bridal gowns, was born in New York City on June 27, 1949. Her childhood dream was to be a figure skater. After she did not win at the National Figure Skating Finals, Ms. Wang became an editor at Vogue for 17 years and Design Director for Ralph Lauren for two years. In 1990, she opened her first boutique in New York City and started her successful bridal line in 1992 and later evening dresses. Vera Wang Fragrance will be introduced by Unilevel Cosmetics International, a division of the British-Dutch conglomerate.
