Vera Wang Enlists Olympic Skater Evan Lysacek As Creative Consultant
Vera Wang has officially enlisted Evan Lysacek as a creative consultant for her storied fashion house.
Wang has previously designed costumes for figure skaters — including Lysacek, Nancy Kerrigan and Michelle Kwan — and was even inducted into the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame in 2009 for her contribution to the sport as a costume designer.
Lysacek previously spent a few days shadowing Wang in the final stages of one of her spring collections, WWD reported.
"I've learned quite a bit through Vera," he said at that time, the trade publication reported. "It's really interesting to see what goes into a collection. That kind of creativity is extremely important, especially now in a world that is less about money. People can set themselves apart by the clothes they choose to wear. That's an easy way for us to express ourselves every day."
Wang has a long history in the fashion industry. She launched her namesake brand after designing her own wedding dress in 1989, the designer opened her own design salon in the Carlyle Hotel in New York City. She has since opened bridal boutiques in New York, London, Tokyo and Sydney, Australia.
Wang has designed wedding wear for celebrities such as Chelsea Clinton, Ivanka Trump, Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Victoria Beckham, Avril Lavigne, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Garner, Hilary Duff, Uma Thurman, Jessica Simpson, Kate Hudson, Khloe Kardashian and Kim Kardashian. In 2011, she launched a collection for David's Bridal, with gowns ranging from afforable $600-$1,400.
