Vera Wang shows off her new line.

Go behind the scenes of O, The Oprah Magazine's September 2007 fashion shoot with Vera Wang for her new smashing—and affordable—Simply Vera line available at Kohl's stores nationwide.

Here, Vera poses with her creation for the opening shot. This embellished tank dress ($138) includes a raised waist and a floaty skirt that we think are genius for lower-body camouflauge.

Last-minute adjustments

Stylist Kate Moody and George Oritz make last-minute adjustments on model Yoon Paik, 25. They decide to keep the black shirred neck jacket ($78) loose and open to show off her pale mauve shell ($54) and poufy jacquard skirt ($98) in navy. "There's no wrong way to mix these colors," Vera says.

Sketches of a possible layout

The staff references stylist Kate Moody's sketches of a possible layout. As the day goes on, Polaroids are placed on the table to replicate real pages. This way, the editors can be sure the lighting is just how they want it.
