"Birthday plans are up in the air. I mean, 75 is a lot of pressure," she shared, maintaining her composed demeanor while backstage at the Fashion Scholarship Fund Gala on April 8, sporting her signature sunglasses. Despite the uncertainty, one thing was certain: there would be cake. Although no concrete celebration plans had been made, Wang expressed her future-sighted mindset.

"A little bit like Warren Buffett or Queen Elizabeth II, I'm just going to keep prodding on," she mentioned, alluding to their advanced ages and continued activity. 

She said that she feels as though she's able to do her best work more and more. She is really trying to respect that in her, that voice in her, that she feels very happy to be creating. Birthdays are all about that, she added. 

Wang's journey in the fashion world began when she transitioned from her role as a Vogue fashion editor to starting her own company in 1990. Her first bridal flagship salon was opened at the Carlyle Hotel in New York City. A year later, she introduced her first ready-to-wear collection.
