Vera Wang introduced her first bridal collection in 1990 after fifteen years editing at Vogue and a two designing for Ralph Lauren. After spending more than a decade dressing countless stars for weddings and red carpets in her ultra-elegant, custom-made gowns (even publishing a book in 2001, "Vera Wang on Weddings"), it was a natural progression for Wang to introduce ready-to-wear in 2004. Unsurprisingly, her RTW also attracted a devout following, allowing the brand to expand its scope to cover everything from footwear and fragrances to stationery and home décor.
