Jason Wu
Designer: Jason Wu

  • “Jason Wu’s collection shrugged off the chill with chic and sexy capes and fur coats, black belts, embroidered shirts, bare shoulders and pleated silk dresses and skirts.” [AFP]
  • “His genius is in really respecting women. This collection was confident and sexy without being revealing or exploitative.” [All The Rage/Los Angeles Times]
  • “Wu’s collection was all woman. Not girlie. Not mannish. That was by design.” [AP]
  • “If the biggest news in New York on Friday was the snow, then the second-most-important story would have to be the one about the designer who delivered a totally polished, accomplished collection, at a moment when no one would have faulted him for taking a break to revel in his first-lady-dressing success.” [ELLEuk.com]
  • “An utterly sophisticated Fall 2013 collection that spoke directly to powerful, grown-up women.” [fashionologie]
  • “Twice chosen by Michelle Obama for Inaugural clothes, Mr. Wu picked a good moment to present a polished collection of feminine tailoring. [The New York Times]
  • “Fresh off the First Lady wearing his extremely feminine, cascading ruby-colored chiffon and velvet gown on Inauguration Night, Jason Wu delivered one of his most-assured runway collections to date.”[Speakeasy/The Wall Street Journal]
  • “All grown-up or not, a girl still likes to let her hair down from time to time. Ask Seymour. Wu was at his most convincing here when he focused on the ‘femininity’ of the show’s title.” [Style.com]
  • “Wu deconstructed the grandest evening looks by showing some of these dresses over sleek evening pants; one red version was a modernist reworking of the silhouette that the First Lady selected for the Inaugural Ball.” [Vogue.com]
  • “It felt like Wu was building on his signatures and refining them, his polished gloss getting an edge.” [Vogue.com UK]
  • “Struck a chic middle ground between his pretty beginnings and this newfound sex factor.” [WWD]
