I like her personality and the way she speaks, very comfortable to listen to. She is down to earth, accomplished, educated, and experienced.
She’s the epitome of humbleness and class. She’s the best looking 70 year old that I’ve seen as I think she looks 50! Vera Wang is just a beautiful soul inside and out ❤️
😂😂😂parece de 60 dejen de joder con decir que parece de 20😂😂😂😂
She is not only so talented and smart but how she is so down to earth . God bless her
Ive never seen an interviewer so disconnected with his guest before this. Fortunately, vera wang is articulate and ebullient. She carried the whole conversation all by herself.
The way he cut her off at the beginning geez
Oxford has terrible interviewers.
She managed the interview really well. Great job by Vera in such a ‘style’ of interview where it is more of a ‘Q&A’.
I doubt he had much to contribute...
nonsense he was perfectly adequate . vera ok too nothing exceptional i'm um i'm
forever skinny and tall, beautiful and smart ... heart of gold... love Vera Wang and her parents who raised such a smart, successful, beautiful & sincere lady of substance and character
What an amazing woman! Her story needs to be a movie - it’ll inspire so many other woman/man out there hustling and pursuing their dreams👏🏼
The interviewer is so intimidating and out of context. He managed to build no connection with her. I love how she put him in place when he asked his yet another generic question about "young women" starting in fashion. Love how she cut him off. He did not deserve to interview her at all. Super dry, flavorless being.
The way he kicked off (literally) the interview made me like whaaat?!
You took the words right out of my mouth. Dry as 5 minute toast. Absolutely dreadful!
U are so funny. I agree definately
flavourless
@@jdishmael001 I rarely comment on youtube - but that guy just pissed me off lol
I know, he ends every answers from her with “absolutely”, even though that doesn’t make sense at all!
wow, blasted away by her grounded presence, she is so genuine.
I am impressed. She is a woman or professional with a great deal of substance, which is reflected in her talking. Real life experience, not only book learning, counts. She must read a great deal by her vocabulary.
She's a woman of substance...this is the first time I hear her talk...she's awesome. #VeraWang
I can't beleive shes 70! Shocking
Well...her walk is kinda wobbly...i think she is 70 yo...
she looks 16
MrSivram28 🤣🤣🤣
@@MrSivram28 cmon dont delusional
Me too dsts why im here findin her haha
Her voice is calming and she is so humble. Insightful interview and applicable to many industries.
I love how sincere she is considering her experience and accomplishments. Yet she continues to be curious, passionate. Great interview!
Even I don’t have no interest in fashion or clothes collection of any kind , I admire the incredible experience and excellent education that Vera Wang demonstrates on this interview!!!! She’s totally an accomplished and intelligent woman!! It’s truly a pleasure to listen to her fashion experiences at all levels in the fashion industry!!
“Wedding dresses shouldn’t reflect an image of a bride but of a women.” Reflect the diversity of women, who you are.
Well said and I totally agree! I’m not here for a career in fashion but this interview has so many tips for going for a job that you’re passionate about.
Thanks for sharing!
She's very down to earth and Kind... The way she spoke to me , very humble. Lucky 🍀
I still can’t believe she’s 70. SHE LOOKS AMAZING
Exactly
well she sure as hell looks it here, lmao
Maggyxchuu asian don’t raisin
Looks amazing and sounds amazing for 70. Can't believe how fast time went.
You guys can not see those bags under her eyes? Come on, she does look her age lol.
You can tell she really enjoyed her career...when you do what you love.. time isn't an object
She is so confident to talk and express herself with sincerity, and she needs nothing like makeup and accessories. I like her attitude, and style & design.
I am intrigued by her body language and her captivating smile . She holds so much gratitude in her eyes and patience in her voice .
Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 at last seeing Vera Wang on You Tube. What a truly
Passionate Woman. She was only a ñame of fame to me at a distance. Having
Listened to her at this Q&A is truly moving. Her voice is rthymical given the subject
Matter, a true word smith...thank you for letting me view your work life...
Humbled by her honesty and her views on early learning in hindsight
I actually think this is a good interview. The interviewer gives her the floor completely. Her personality completely comes through. She seems very humble, definitely hard working. Her success is a result of her experience and her willingness to devote all her energy into fashion.
Yes I think the interviewer was ok. No interruption or whatever. It was all Vera...who we came to listen to.
He gives he the floor as he’s not interested in her, his mind is elsewhere.
She is so easy to understand and I Enjoyed her honesty and her designs speak to most women. Uncomplicated and easy to wear. I always find myself in the Vera Wang section
Everyone should listen to this talk and q & a session. Ms. Wang has shared so much of her experience and work. There are gems of wisdom that she shares.
Happy 70th Birthday Vera Wang
Vera reflects a woman with lots of design experience. She is beautiful and speaks with confidence, substance and positiveness. Good sharing of how she come to be who she is now. Humble and nice character giving and respecting other known Design Brand and founders. Bravo. Interesting session.
I’m so glad she said, “young women..not young men?” Yes, Vera!
The host was amazing never interrupted her, allowing her to really speak….
The lack of interruption was positive, but he didn’t have much else to comment than ”absolutely” for everything that was said, which was at times awkawrd. Also, that question about ”young women” came across as if he doesn’t take the industry seriously.
She, her husband and two girls were on my sunrise flight, maybe 20yrs ago. PURE ELEGANCE, all four of them. For young children that lovely at 6am......I actually felt Beauty that morning.
I can only imagine that she treated her family like precious jewels.
This guy sucks as an interviewer. He’s completely unconnected to the actual person sitting across from him, impersonal, disconnected from the subject. He’s so robotic it’s horrific to watch. I have to commend Vera Wang for still being engaged and passionate in giving her answers
Yeah, he's not the passionate type, but he sticks to business, is focused, and does the job.
Great interview! For such a successful fashion designer she's incredibly humble and you can see the perseverance and hard work she's put into her collections over the years. Amazing to hear her speak. Lots of the students' questions were terribly worded though, and the interviewer was very robotic and wooden. I would love to learn what a Vera Wang workday looks like, and get a glimpse of how she produces what she does. Truly an inspirational lady.
a day in the life of vera wang in the studio: ruclips.net/video/q8Y3FQ5zPzs/видео.html
hope that helps :)
Very articulate, intelligent, passionate, experienced and confident woman. Hard work and unquenchable thirst for learning. Those are her qualities and motivations. Very inspiring woman who does nit liook 70 at all. Happy woman!
Супер женщина, мне бы такой быть.
Worked her way up so respectful for sure it's difficult pathways dealing with people.
Thank you Vera for being so amazing and a perfect example of someone who went for their dreams and received their happy ever after. Stay blessed 🦋
I helped an Asian American businesswoman with her fashion line. Though she had wealth or initial investment, also by luck and her own creative vision. Her items are fair trade and she personally knows the families and people overseas (Nepal) whom craft with cashmere. I hope they (Ms. Vera Wang ) are friends now.
On top of how classy and elegant she is, I can totally understand why younger men are attracted to her. The way she talks and reacts, there’s something so young, passionate, and lively there, which makes her seem so much more youthful and energetic (and obviously she’s in an amazing shape). Such a pity that Oxford couldn’t find someone who knows transitioning words other than “absolutely” to conduct the interview …
what a lovely, intelligent woman. can't believe she's 70, she looks better than me! I hope one day I can walk down the aisle in one of her dresses even if it costs me a kidney.
70😱😱😱had no idea she was that old😱
She looks like 40
Shd has a beautiful hair at her ages,.. Indeed.. 🌷🌷
*she*
She has a lot in her to share. Bravo Vera Wang
Met her a few times back when she was just opening the bridal boutique. Very down to earth and nice.
I love how she didnt undergo plastic surgery to look younger. You can tell she's a pure soul. Look at that smile ☺️
Her mirror might argue the contrary.
@@brainsareus you sound bitter
She definitely has fillers at the very least
@Josh Segal Look at her cheeks... only cheeks with filler look like that
She had double eyelid surgery.
Very humble, intelligent and graceful!
It was a random suggestion on my RUclips wall, but TRULY ENJOYED IT 💖💖💖
This woman is an example of hard work and success...much respect.
good advice on being "paid to learn". she also such a pleasant energy.
Could you please tell me what that means ?get paid to learn,does it mean you have to pay something (money or anything )to learn things ?
@@lucyg2949 she meant that the best way to learn is to work for someone who is an expert in the field that you're wanting to work in. Then you can learn from them and at the same time, you're being paid because you're working under them.
@@shttc900 yes exactly, I watched other interviews of her and got the idea, thanks a lot tho !🤗🤗💗
She designs wedding gown. Some of the most beautiful wedding gowns worn by celebrities or royal families, were designed by her.
doesn’t look like an interview, it’s more Vera Wang’s speech
It nice to see a well known celebrity like Vera Wang who has let herself age gracefully...no botox or face lift...she looks great!
Amazing woman with incredible talent and integrity, well-educated!!!
Gratefull, positive and admiring of others. How awesome
Never felt so wise after watching this, just love it!
Interviewer seems so robotic, he needs to work on his social skills. Vera is so inspiring woman and well rounded person, i really enjoyed her talking
Ikr, the whole of Oxford and they couldn’t find an interviewer who loves fashion?
I’ve never seen an interviewer jump into questions like that!
i guess he is new and little nervous
Thumbnail did her dirty
Isabelle Tee lol. She definitely looks her age. Remember a couple a weeks ago everyone was going on about how young she looks.
@@a.sydney5036 yasss!
I thought she looked beautiful!
agree! was shocked when i first looked at it 😆😅
Her humility for me shines though in the way she is still so inspired, learning, and giving her 💯. Awesome and fascinating lady.
She is so humble and gorgeous and very inspiring!! Nice interview!!
I hope and pray to reach this Vera Wang-level of class, humility and eloquence
She deserved a much better interviewer. Vera Wang - Such a legend and an amazing person!
She is very humble and beautiful woman!
It's such a gift to hear from people's experiences and see them with a smile on their eyes while listening to questions, such a humble and inspiring being
Her face is 70, but her body and her voice is like 40.
Infinity Qiuge her face looks soo good for 70 tho
@@giovannarossi2274 The 70, of 70 years ago, perhaps. Her body is nice and spry, though.
Yes 👍
I think it’s because she underwent plastic surgery. She looks weird.
Her face is not 70....
I have great respect for her passion and authenticity. I love her classic timeless designs.
I really like her Designer Gowns, unique, elegant and impressive!
same as herself
What a wonderful interview. So real ! Thanks to the interviewer and V Wang,. 💕🇨🇦
God Vera has so much emotional intelligence, how incredibly awkward this video was but she just delivered her message love her.
far the best interview by fashion designer
wooow she has such a youthful personality
She is so young compared with other 70yo
Excellent video. Thank you Oxford Union. Excellent interview. Happy autumn.
Very articulate, smart, exudes confidence and grace.
Why is the crowd sitting like that? They probably got neck pain after this interview.
🤣🤣🤣
so true
Exactly what I thought! Twist your neck like that in 60 mins, not good at all...
I recon there was no room for the camera, therefore the sitting which should have been facing her, was moved to the side. That’s my thinking.
This is what I needed , thank you for this interview.
A woman of passion, formed by time, beautiful inside out. ❤️
A truly amazing designer and artist!
Terrible interviewer.. not connected to his guest or even the topic of the interview! She seems so fun and effervescent.. so lively ! It could have been so much better..
Nevertheless .. enjoyed listening to her ..
This interviewer is really not to the level. I must say I have hardly ever seen such a disconnected interviewer. But God, she made each mn of this interview worth watching. Such a grace, excellence, integrity and simplicity. Beautiful person
Such an interesting talk. She's so beyond inspiring. A different level of energy.
What an inspiring talk!
Can you change the thumbnail? She’s so much better than that in the video.
i know!!!!!
not really..
How does she maintain that hair? Looks so healthy and voluminous
18:30 I love THIS so much. How she talks about SELF-EXPRESSION and creativity in this way. SUCCESS how vulnerable and strong the way she expressed herself about this.
My major is fashion design, then did knitting fabric for 14 years, then retired... many memories in there, thank your for your talk, thanks.
Bravo Mrs V. Wang !
She is amazing !!
Absolutely adore her
She is a beautiful woman. However, her voice sounds alot younger than how she looks.
but I think her look is much younger than her real age
Sorry what were you expecting? A tremble...?
Thank you for your expression of value. It good to hear how you've gone about your successes.
Very interesting woman. I really enjoyed hearing her speak.
Love the passion and decisiveness. Sharp. ☁️🐻❤️
Why people have this expectation from others to look younger for their age?! Why people allways want to comment and be amazed or horrofied by the looks of an old human?! Getting old comes with changes and they are normal. We'll all be old.
Iulia S I'm really annoyed at everyone commenting how great she looks for her age...70. This always happens to women, never men. I was captured by her intelligence and knowledge, not thinking about her age. They're missing all the lessons she's providing by focusing on her age.
@@ginalaperuginanyc7641 You are right, but this is the society we live in and lack of education and true values.
Humble + grounded + a visionary
And given some great opportunities
Love her bridal line + clothes line in KOHL'S
Such earth shattering life altering stuff!... 🙄
I wish this interview exists back when I was 20.
the interviewer is soooo awkward! it doesn't seem like an interview/convo
I've enjoyed all her clothes and jewelry designs. The quality, also, of materials used were, the best.
Wow 😳 Vera Wang is 70 now? I can’t believe she 70 and her body and hair and overalls looks so amazing
Love it Love it Love it ! Love this interview ! 🤟🏻💜
A slide show accompanying this interview would be so appreciated, especially when she starts talking about her own wedding dress inspiring her designs.☹️
Ekaterina,
You're asking for something that never was and never will be, a RUclips editor with the ability to think.
she was very articulate and sincere. terrible interviewer. good questions from the audience
He drew no attention to himself and let the interviewee speak uninterrupted and at length. No complaints here!
He didn't even helped her up the stairs, she's 70 for god's sake lmfao
the Amazing Vera Wang!!
love her! such an inspiration also so humble and looks great
I am a big fan of Vera’s clothes and am happy to get to know her better through this interview. I like to support a business that is run by a woman thatvInlike and can respect, who is humble,like able and full of integrity is a pleasure to me since I think consumer responsibility is a very important aspect of how I ant to spend my hard earned money. Vera deserves success and support! She seems like a very nice woman and I am happy thatbInlove her clothing lines sonI can continue to purchase her clothes and feel good about who I am supporting!
People like Vera Wang and Anna Wintour... they don't need plastic surgery. They CREATE looks!
