Designer to the stars Vera Wang shored up her artistic clout Tuesday by sending models down the New York runway in towering platforms and elongated cuts inspired by Modigliani and Giacometti. The designer, best known for designing wedding gowns for the rich and famous, presented a collection steeped in the long, lean, sculptural image of the European artists, whose 20th century masterpieces are fetching record prices. “I wanted to find my own new proportion and my own new silhouette,” Wang told AFP backstage as New York stood shrouded in thick gray skies and heavy rain.
