Vera Wang to design Kim Kardashian’s wedding dress

American socialite Kim Kardashian – despite plans to keep details of her August 20 wedding to Kris Humphries private – has revealed that legendary designer Vera Wang will design her wedding dress.

"Vera has been a close family friend for a long time and we had talked about this moment for years," Kardashian wrote on her blog yesterday (August 1). "When it came to picking my wedding dress designer she was the first person I thought of. No one designs gowns the way she does!"

The television personality/actress reportedly first visited Wang’s New York City boutique in early June, but had refused to admit the purpose of her visit.

Although celebrity wedding enthusiasts the world over have chimed in on how they think Kardashian will look on the big day, Project Runway judge Michael Kors has advised that the starlet keep things "sleek, sexy and simple." Publicist pal Jonathan Cheban reportedly told People that he thinks she should go for "over the top."

“[Wang] can make my dream come true,” the bride-to-be continued, “and create the most perfect gown for my special day.

Vera Wang also designed sister Khloe Kardashian’s dress for her nuptials back in 2009.
