Vera Wang
The fashion designer is of Chinese descent but was born and raised in New York; the style of New York is running in her blood, which is probably what makes her the successful derringer that she is. As a teenager, she was a professional figure skater, but she abandoned this profession for the fashion world.
She entered the fashion industry as an editor for the elite magazine Vogue, and at the age of forty she started her own business as a bridal designer. Ever since then, Wang is one of the most acclaimed bridal designers in the US, and in the entertainment industry in particular.
