Fashion is On

IT’S not just the world of fashion in which Vera Wang has made her mark. For her contribution to costume design, the designer is to be inducted into the US Figure Skating Hall of Fame.

Having taken up the sport at the age of eight, Wang went on to compete in the annual championship in 1968 and her fashionable career move came as a result of not making the US Olympic figure skating team.
