Vera Wang created a range of black wedding dresses because the hue is so sophisticated, she says.
The bridal gown designer debuted a range of black dresses, an un-traditional tone for weddings, in October 2011.
"We've done dresses that are all in pastel like Laduree pastries and macaroons, a recent collection in red, and a black collection. Black is really a nude; it started because we based the collection on underwear," she told Vogue Australia.
"The fact that black is so sophisticated it's a great background for exploring technique, just as nude is. And you can really see technique because both are almost neutral palates - nude and black are sort of a Chanel attitude."
Wang went on to discuss her inspiration, which comes from many different places.
