Cool Asian of the Day: Vera Wang

This Chinese-American and New York City native is an extremely influential fashion designer. At one time, she trained as a figure skater. When she didn't make the Olympic team, she moved into the fashion industry instead. Wang is best known for her wedding dresses, but she has fragrance, jewelry, eyewear, shoe, and houseware collections as well.

She will also be recognized with a "Leadership in the Arts" award at Identities 2010, one of Harvard's premier fashion/art shows, which is co-sponsored by AAA. Identities will be held on 4/17/10 in Annenberg Hall from 10-11 PM.

Hope we can see you all there!
