Work, sleep, a cocktail with vodka and a little sun, is the recipe of designer Vera Wang
American designer Vera Wang has dedicated the last 30 years of her life to making other women look charming and memorable on one of the most important days in their lives – their wedding. She is one of the world’s most famous wedding dress designers, and her clients include stars such as Sharon Stone, Uma Thurman and Mariah Carey. Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama also relied on her services when they were the first ladies of the United States.
For a year now, however, all online attention has been focused on the mind-boggling vision of Vera Wang herself, who turned 72 on June 27. As an Instagram user aptly wrote, this woman has probably discovered the elixir of youth.
The wave of admiration for the slender figure and taut skin of the designer began during the pandemic. Since there is no point in making dresses because weddings are forbidden, the designer focuses on creating hair accessories. He wants to advertise them on the Internet, but due to the obligatory social isolation at that time, he cannot rely on professional models. She decides to put some of them on her beautiful long hair and take a picture. During the photo shoot, she is quite warm in Miami and puts on a short sports tank top, under which her tight flat stomach can be seen.
Her photos are literally hot with Instagram comments. The bad thing is that no one cares about Wang’s hairpins, and everyone wants to know how to maintain this perfect body. “I was shocked by this reaction, because I have always been perceived as a creator, not as a subject of discussion. I’m usually behind the camera, and to be honest, I got some pretty obscene offers, “Wang admitted. But because he has an unmistakable flair for what can become fashionable, he agrees to share with his followers on the web some of his secrets to unfading youth.
He reveals that he trains different things every day. There is a treadmill at home, but he prefers to ride a bike in the parks of Miami, as he relaxes better outdoors. Be sure to spend at least five minutes exercising with dumbbells. He likes to play tennis and golf. He tries not to strain, but simply to maintain his muscles and provide himself with enough physical activity, which is the best medicine against stress. “I think when you’re physically engaged in your first 16 years, it kind of stays with you for a lifetime. There is something like muscular memory “, the designer explains. As a child, she trained in ballet and figure skating and even participated in national competitions, but gave up after not finding a place in the US Olympic team. Focuses on fashion. He first started working for Vogue fashion magazine, and then for designer Ralph Lauren.
However, he does not stop exercising and following a healthy diet. He eats mostly steamed fish, white chicken with fresh vegetables and rice. She rarely allows herself pasta like pizza, but she has completely given up fizzy drinks.
One of the things that surprised the followers interested in her sports form was the recognition that part of her diet includes vodka. Vera Wang explained that she takes it as part of cocktails that give her relaxation after a stressful day. She avoided revealing how regularly she drank alcohol, which raised doubts that his inclusion in her wellness philosophy could be for advertising purposes, as Wang produces his own brand of vodka and recently released prosecco wine. Even the cake for her 72nd birthday was in the shape of an ice bucket in which bottles of her two alcoholic beverages were cooled. Apparently there was a promotional message on her personal holiday, but few paid attention to it, as did the hairpins. Most of the comments on the photos that the designer shared from her party were again about her appearance. She was in a yellow, quite naked dress, in which she looked 27 years old, not 72 years old.
“Work, sleep, a cocktail with vodka and a little sun,” the birthday girl wrote in response to one of the many questions about how she maintains such an elegant figure. Unlike many of his colleagues who stopped working during the pandemic, Wang chose to isolate himself at home with his team, which he called the “creative family.” In this way she manages to be busy, not to despair and to create, which she considers very important for inner peace. “I take a long hot bath in the evening. I light a candle and run the news to catch up with the information of the day, but I don’t spend much time with it, because I try to calm down, breathe deeply and prepare for a peaceful sleep that everyone needs to recharge. energetic for the next day “, the designer shares. Another relaxing ritual is drying her hair. “It’s so long and thick that sometimes I want to cut it,” Wang said. But the truth is that she maintains it very well and takes care of it with appropriate oils and balms.
Wang married 40-year-old investor Arthur Becker, who played a key role in her independent design career. Not only because she chooses to focus on wedding dresses, after failing to find a suitable model for her own wedding, but because the financier helps her in the first difficult years in starting a business. The couple divorced after 23 years of marriage in 2012, when Vera was already after the big names in fashion and her personal fortune was estimated at 460 million dollars. They have two adopted daughters, aged 29 and 26, and are happy that their mother looks like their peer.
