Vera Wang & Arthur Becker Split: Renowned Designer Announced Her Split

 

On Thursday, the heralded wedding apparel designer Vera Wang announced that she was separating from her husband of 23 years, Arthur Becker. Becker has helped Wang build her bridal empire and reportedly has a huge stake in the brand.

However, Mario Grauso, President of Wang's company told Women's Wear Daily, that the former couple will not let this impact the running of the company. They have worked too hard to build it up."

In a statement released the company informed the public that the couple of 23 years, "Vera Wang and Arthur Becker have mutually and amicably agreed to separate... They remain devoted parents to their two daughters," as reported by People's.

The couple married in 1989 at New York's Pierre Hotel and have two daughters Cecilia and Josephine.


In addition to her luxury bridal company, Wang recently collaborated with David's Bridal to create a line of affordable bridal gowns and accessories for the discount retailer. Her Fall 2012 Bridal Collection which featured an entire line of black wedding gowns created quite a stir in the bridal fashion world. In fact, Las Angeles Times (with intended pun obviously) reported on the spilt saying "the black wedding gowns could have been a bad omen."


Her 2013 Fall Collection contains nudes, blushes and scarlet reds, no blacks, but neither the traditional whites. Her most notable gowns have been for a-list celebrities and public figures including Chelsea Clinton, Alicia Keys, Ivanka Trump and most recently Kim Khardashian.
