Vera Wang for Wedgwood

Widely regarded as the premier designer of luxury wedding gowns and the authority on all contemporary matrimonial topics, international fashion designer Vera Wang has partnered with Wedgwood to create a breathtaking collection of fine bone china dinnerware, giftware and crystal stemware.

Based in New York, Vera Wang is renowned for approaching design with a passion for detail, a unique understanding of luxury and a desire to blend sensuality with sophistication. Her visionary knowledge of weddings led her very naturally into the design of her collections for Wedgwood.

“There isn’t a brand that is more associated with timelessness, quality and dignity than Wedgwood,” says Vera Wang. “I am proud to be collaborating with Wedgwood – a name synonymous with contemporary design and fine craftsmanship. Each piece has been designed with a modern approach to classic style resulting in a timeless and elegant collection,” Vera adds.

These two famous names have more in common than it might seem at first sight. Just as Vera Wang interprets the revered tradition of the bridal gown in an endless train of contemporary variations, so too has Wedgwood succeeded in translating its 250 year heritage of quality and craftsmanship into a variety of tableware patterns for today’s table. Each, in their own way, has transcended the boundaries of formality and adapted it for the versatile needs of modern lifestyles.

“The wonderful thing about china is that it is such a personal decision. It has to do with your lifestyle, your taste, your personal sense of style. With how you like to entertain and what you like to eat. It’s one of the foundations of starting a home”, Vera adds.

The new Vera Wang designs for Wedgwood have wide appeal to young couples. Vera Wang is very conscious of blending the past and the present, as all pieces have a distinctly modern feel yet retain a classical charm. Similarly, her crystal stemware for Wedgwood is designed to complement perfectly with her china designs, but allows a good deal of mix and match freedom. The tulip shaped stemware ranges are inspired by antique glasses, while other shapes are uniquely contemporary.

“I am known for a certain take on classicism. It’s modernity with a twist. I appreciate the past but at the same time, being in fashion, I also love what is current or what is to come.” Vera adds

Joining the china and crystal collections is a host of new Silverware accessories and gifts to create the perfect environment for stylish living and entertaining. Sterling silver in tactile and beautifully balanced cutlery place settings are accompanied by picture frames, and tabletop accessories, all ideally suited to bridal gifting.

Overall, like everything that carries the Vera Wang name, the range has been meticulously thought out and embodies an elegant modernity that conveys a rich, yet exquisitely subtle presence.
