• “One would imagine that first lady Michelle Obama … would wear her black-and-white ‘ghost print’ satin sheath with organza insets sans leather hardware.” {The Associated Press}
• “Jason playfully balanced sexy and sweet.” {FabSugar}
• “Now you see it, now you don’t. Sweet and sexy, naughty and nice, black and white. Those are just a few of the dualities that Jason Wu demonstrated along with his range and pure talent at his Spring 2013 runway show.” {Fashion Wire Daily}
• “Dominatrix chic mixed with ladylike lingerie seems to be a theme this season, and Jason Wu was right on trend.” {FashionEtc}
• “The designer played with the contrast between sensuality and innocence this season — and the result was just as naughty as it was nice.” {fashionologie}
• “As steamy as all this may sound, Mr. Wu’s mostly black-and-white clothes (he was inspired by the photographs of Helmut Newton and Lillian Bassman) were refined.” {The New York Times}
• “The point was to play against type; in this case, his.” {On The Runway/The New York Times}

• “One wonders what these sexually intriguing Jason Wu women were carrying in those bags.” {Speakeasy/The  Wall Street Journal}
• “Does the dominatrix shoe fit? Some of the kink did push Wu dangerously beyond his comfort zone. The tailoring, though, was a strength.” {Style.com}
• “Wu played with the time-honored conceit of underwear as outerwear, with corset-seamed dresses, and structured undergarments with a mid-century flavor revealed through diaphanous outer layers.” {Vogue.com}
• “The apex of this collection is still the clarity and precision with which he executes it. … The Wu customer may be many things behind the closed bedroom door, but one thing she’s definitely not is unkempt.” {Vogue.com UK}
• “Consider spring his season of innocence lost, in a way that wouldn’t embarrass his mother.” {WWD}
