Jason Wu: Made for Resort
The proliferation of full-on resort season runway shows makes me a little uneasy, mostly because it feels like most brands don’t need to put on such an elaborate production to sell clothes. (Which by the way, is the main reason for pre-fall and resort collections. They make up a majority of most labels’ sales.)
Yet there are always a few who lend themselves so well to Resort that it makes sense to do it up. Jason Wu is one of those designers.
To me, Wu is this generation’s Oscar de la Renta, which means that no matter what season he’s in, the pieces are both wearable and in one way or another, extravagant. So each collection deserves similar treatment.
