Meet Jane Wang this Friday December, 3rd and Saturday, December 4

Jane Wang

Like taming a unicorn or balancing the federal budget, finding a new line that strikes a chord with our busy customers is the ultimate buying quest.   For two seasons, you’ve purchased Jane Wang’s distinctive dresses, and this Friday  and Saturday,  Jane will be in the store to meet you and invite you to try more of her meticulously created silk jersey frocks.

Developing as a  successful designer occurs over a lifetime,  requiring as much technical and business  expertise as artistry.  Jane already has decades of experience.   At 14, Jane left China with her family and arrived in Manhattan, where she immersed herself in design.   After graduating from both Manhattan’s  High School of Fashion Industries and the Fashion Institute of Technology, Jane spent ten years learning all aspects of the business  working for other fashion houses.   

 Jane launched JANE WANG bridal in 2006 and her dress line last year.  Her  six year old daughter keeps the home front lively, too.  Jane’s success is grounded in knowing exactly who her customer is, and in being one herself.  As she puts it,  “(m)ost women today don’t have a lot of time for fuss . . . most of the time they are throwing a dress on and running out of the door .”   Being fashionable has to be easy: “Silk jersey is perfect and a simple way to dress.   It is also the perfect material for day-into-evening dressing.”

Below you’ll see several of the styles we’ll feature this weekend.  Asymmetry, ruching and careful placement of prints combine to make the dresses  flattering and memorable.  We’re betting that in a year or two, when you’re wearing an old favorite, a total stranger will stop you and ask, “Is that a  Jane Wang?”
