Vera Wang is finally opening up about thaticonic sports bra photoshoot, claiming she had no idea it would cause such a social media frenzy.
The 71-year-old designer recently sat down for an interview withPeoplemagazine, where she discussed the now-viral picture she posted on Instagram. While fans immediately went wild for herPalm Angelsworkout top, she admitted that wasn’t the original intention of the post.
“我完全震惊了,”她说。”体育rfectly honest, the real goal of that picture was [to feature] the hair clips I had in my hair. And hair clips don’t exactly show up that well in a picture. So, we really had to minimize whatever I was wearing and to keep the focus on my hair and those crystal clips. And the fact it became about my Palm Angels workout top was so crazy.”
Wang explained that she’s not used to being the center of attention, adding, “I’m sort of the one that always puts the women I dress upfront. I am a fashion designer. And I have dressed some of the most amazing women over the last 30 years on the red carpet when they’ve actually wonOscarsorGolden Globesor艾美奖. And so, I’m always the one pushing them out the door, and fixing their train at theMet Gala.”
As for her secret to staying fit, the fashion designer revealed that it comes from years of physical activity. “I would say [it’s] sporadic. Sporadic is the perfect word,” she said. “I mean, I was an elite athlete in my youth. I was a competitive figure skater in the United States and a dancer at Balanchine School of American Ballet. I think when you spend the first 16 years of your life that physically engaged, there is such a thing that it sort of stays with you. There’s a muscle memory that goes with that.”
We’ll have whatever Wang is having.
