HELEN WANG FASHIONS

Helen’s first career was fashion design. Having graduated from Cornell in this area, she was a fashion consultant to some well-known persons in NYC. After finding her true passion for Tango, she has also designed and sold Tango clothing. She is currently in the process of launching her 2022 fall line of Tango dresses. Helen makes one sample for display and then takes orders to tailor that design to your measurements. Only 3 dresses of any design are sold, and then that design is retired. VivaTango was lucky to have the first two designs of her fall line shown last Thursday. If you want more information, message HELEN. Any dancer who purchases a Helen Wang design will be given a 20% discount if they will later wear their dress at a VivaTango Fashion Show event to be held later. The photo shows the two dress styles, and Helen and Cristian in performance.
