The Neon Pants Lady from Jason Wu Gets Her Own Meme

Late last night, we got a funny email from a tipster pointing out that Style.com had gone to the trouble of turning a particularly, uh, noticable pair of neon green pants front row at Jason Wu into a visually-inoffensive pair of khakis. Now they're a meme.

Late last night, we got a funny email from a tipster pointing out that Style.com had gone to the trouble of turning a particularly, uh, noticable pair of neon green pants front row at Jason Wu into a visually-inoffensive pair of khakis.

Well, Style.com wasn't the only one to notice the show-goer--some internet savvy person has turned that front row gaffe into meme gold. Starting up a Tumblr page--because where else do you go to post memes?--Front Row Fluo, the user has photoshopped Ms. Neon Pants into other events, like the Inauguration Ball or Beyonce's halftime performance (using those unflattering photos, making it a meme within a meme--memeinception??).

Kudos, internet. You win again.

Jason Wu: The Mrs. O Effect

Michelle Obama made Jason Wu a household name, and we could see her in just about every hot pink and lime and bow-embellished piece Wu sent down the runway for his Spring/Summer 2011 collection (save the sheer chiffon blouses--not very FLOTUS like). Wu's vibrant color palette was inspired by the energy of Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes' work. Delicate silk and chiffon blouses were paired with pin tucked trousers and cascade front skirts. The last ten or so looks were quintessential Wu--beautiful red carpet ready gowns, the skirts covered in fluttery petals. It's a collection made to please--buyers, glossy editors and celeb stylists--Wu's keeping everyone happy.
