This season Jason Wu was designing for a more mature
audience. The inspiration for the more elegant and sophisticated collection seemed to be
linked to his recent publicity: Michelle Obama wore one of his designs to the
inaugural ball for a second time this January.
Wu said the collection was based on “extreme femininity.” It
was true that many of the girly elements of his past collections were seen
again in this line. Most recognizable were the pleats and lace details.
He mixed the feminine with masculine silhouettes of wider
shoulders and fully buttoned up blouses. Other interesting details were created
with cutout like patterns created with sheer fabrics; a perfect demonstration
of the balance between severe and sexy Wu was going for this season.
What do you think? Don't you want a piece of Wu's New York sophistication in your closet?
