在成為享譽(yù)全球的時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)師前，王薇薇（圖左）曾是一位頗有天賦的花樣滑冰運(yùn)動(dòng)員。

Wang competed in the 1968 US Figure Skating Championships but turned to fashion after she failed to make the cut for the US Olympic team.
1968年，她參加了美國(guó)花樣滑冰錦標(biāo)賽，但未能成功進(jìn)入美國(guó)奧運(yùn)隊(duì)，之后便轉(zhuǎn)而進(jìn)軍時(shí)尚圈。

"Skating was a chance for me to express myself in a creative way,"she said.

“它由各元素融合而成，包括音樂、舞蹈、田徑運(yùn)動(dòng)、編舞藝術(shù)，當(dāng)然，還有服裝。”
