There are some names that when you hear them just bring a certain style to mind. When you hear “Ralph Lauren” or “Anna Wintour” or “Vera W**g” you can immediately just feel their sense of style.
These names kind of feel eternal and ageless, like they’ve been around as long as fashion has, but it turns out that yes, they are just humans and are in fact aging. Although you might not believe that just looking at Vera.
Vera is an iconic fashion designer whose name is synonymous with high end wedding dresses.

Vera was also once the youngest editor for Vogue magazine, who hired her immediately after her graduation from Sarah Lawrence College. Vera didn’t even start designing bridal wear until she was 40!
Vera also recently went viral when the world all at once seemed to realize that Vera is in frankly incredible shape for her age.
Vera was born on June 27th, 1949.

Somehow that makes her 71 years old this year, which makes absolutely no sense to me. She says the secret to her looking so amazing at her age is work, sleep, and a vodka cocktail. Weird — I do all those things and I definitely do not look like that.
Happy birthday, Vera!

We hope this year brings you as much happiness and success as all of your other ones did — alongside the sleep, work, and vodka cocktails!
