Designer Vera Wang at Fashion Week Spring 2009 Collection

Leave a reply

In 1990 Vera Wang founded a design company that not only reflects her lifelong love of fashion, but also celebrates the romance, sensuality and spirit of modern young women.

A native New Yorker, Vera Wang grew up surrounded by fashion, often accompanying her mother to the world’s most stylish boutiques. After a career in competitive skating and studies at Chapin and Sarah Lawrence, Vera discovered her own love for design while at the Sorbonne in Paris. She joined Vogue and at age 23, became the youngest fashion editor ever. After 16 years, Vera moved on to Design Director of women’s accessories for Ralph Lauren.

It was her own marriage, however, that ultimately inspired her to start her own business. She introduced style and modernity to wedding gowns, creating the foundation for a luxury fashion brand that has since expanded into various related categories. Vera Wang collections are positioned in the highest end of the luxury market. Customer appeal is high: driven by an artistic modern and luxurious design style, couture-like quality and a high level of customer service. Vera Wang collaborates with leading global partners. The company directly employes over 200 people and manufacturers the majority of its bridal collection in company-owned workrooms in the United States.

In 2005, the prestigious Council of Fashion Designers of America named Vera Wang as Womenswear Designer of the Year. Vera Wang resides in New York City with her husband and two daughters.

Watch out MTV’s Top Pop Group contestants, ’cause Jazmin just might be the hottest family act since the Jonas Brothers! The members of Jazmin have beauty, brains … and tons of talent! Yes, Nadia, Felicia, Celia and Daria Khong are four sexy but sweet second-generation Chinese-American sisters from Los Angeles who have it all. The name Jazmin was inspired by the sisters’ jazz influences, and it’s also a popular Asian flower. Vote for Jazmin on Top Pop Group.

Daughters of a Christian Protestant preacher and a piano teacher, the Jazmin girls grew up in a strict household where — gasp! — TV was banned. So, when they didn’t have their noses glued to their textbooks, the sisters would unleash their energy by singing, dancing and creating artwork. Their parents were huge supporters of their talents and even encouraged them to draw all over the walls of their home!

From writing their own songs to choreographing their dance routines, Jazmin outdoes the typical “girl group,” as each sister brings something special to the table. And each with their own MySpace page.

Nadia

Nadia, the eldest who studied studio art at UC Irvine, loves fashion and acts as the group’s stylist. Click here for Nadia’s MySpace page.

Felicia

Felicia, the bossy one, majored in art history at UCLA and designs everything for the group, from their album covers to their website. Click here for Felicia’s MySpace page.

Celia

On the opposite end of the spectrum is resident goofball Celia, who’s always on the lookout for fun and games. She attended UC Irvine majoring in Literary Journalism and her lyrical ideas and passion for the NBA reflect her high energy and spirit. Click here for Celia’s MySpace page.

Daria

And, although Daria is the youngest, she has a big voice, which makes her the de facto leader of the pack. Her strong vibe holds the group together, making their voices truly united. She like the Michael of their Jackson 4. Click here for Daria’s MySpace page.

JAZMIN gained nation-wide exposure after being chosen by NBC as a finalist on America’s Got Talent as well their Star Tomorrow music competition led by legendary music producer David Foster –- who likened them to En Vogue and TLC.
