Vera Wang 'Proud' of Chelsea Clinton Wedding Dress Design
The fairy Godmother of wedding dresses, Vera Wang, spoke to "The Insider" on Tuesday night about one of her latest headline-making masterpieces--Chelsea Clinton's stunning gown. The names behind the designer labels stepped away from the drawing board to attend "Fashion's Night Out: The Show" in Lincoln Center. Vera said Chelsea and her new husband Marc Mezvinsky are "an incredible couple and I was very proud to [make] the dress. I've known her since she was a young girl." The fashion industry's queen bee, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, set out on a mission to make lofty trends accessible to not just the elite few that get the golden ticket to the Fashion Week tent. "We wanted to really get the woman in the street, the man in the street excited about shopping, excited about fashion, and we feel it's a very democratic event," she said. "Tonight is a consumer fashion show open to anyone who bought a ticket. It's not just about the insiders." Vera supported this groundbreaking catwalk as well, which features clothing of all different price points, available in stores now. "I also think it brings fashion to where it should be, which is with the arts," she asserted. "That's arguable, but to me fashion is an art form. It's expressive, it's interactive…" The event brought out the girly-girl side of model Bar Refaeli. She said, "As a girl, I like to every day get dressed up. Every night there's a different event, a different party, so I get to wear all kinds of designers and get made up, makeup, hair." The brainchild of Vogue, major cities worldwide are hosting Fashion's Night Out events on Friday, September 10 with special in-store promotions and celebrity appearances. "Project Runway" judge and style maven Michael Kors implied, "I think simplistically, it's turning shopping and fashion into a holiday. Last year it was more exciting than Halloween." Didn't make it to the runway to catch the action live? No worries. Tune in to CBS on September 14 as the buzzed-about fashion show is broadcast on television.[Read full story on The Insider]
