Vera Wang (Vera Wang) She made a youthful appearance – no makeup – at DKMS Gala, in New York, wearing a deep red lace dress. The 76 -year -old fashion designer led the stars to the 19th annual DKMS Gala in honor of Coco Rocha. Also present was Harvey Weinstein’s ex -wife, 49 -year -old Georgina Chapman, who is also the same fashion designer.

Wang celebrated her 76th birthday in June, but she has not discovered the elixir of youth, nor has Benjamin Button’s syndrome.

Her social media photos often cause controversy: others admire her for her physical state and the spirit of self -discipline, while others are concerned about how “true” and healthy this image is.

She avoids public references to her weight. In interviews, he states that he works incessantly, sleeps little and remains active, without strict diets or gyms. “The job keeps me new,” he has said. And yet, her image – with the fine ends, the sharp face, the almost transparent skin – looks more like a symbol than a human. A symbol of perfection that she created and incarnated with complete consistency.

The discussion about her “skeletal” appearance has been the subject of discussion a few times. Some argue that Vera Wang is a mirror of an era that still fights with stereotypes around age, femininity and body. A time when women are called upon to remain “eternal new”, productive and flawless – even when they have already conquered everything. Her silhouette, almost boned, seems to symbolize exactly this pressure: the constant attempt to stay “perfect”, even when no longer needed.
