Jason Wu F/W 14.15：Adriana Lima by Inez Van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin

Since Spring ’13, Jason Wu has enlisted Inez & Vinoodh to lens his recurring installments of Supermodel Supper Club (a phrase, he told me, he somewhat ingeniously came up with while at the dentist yesterday morning). His campaigns have featured mega models posing at iconic New York eateries—Stephanie Seymour was snapped at La Grenouille, Christy Turlington at Mr. Chow, and last season Wu took Karen Elson to enduring hot spot Indochine. Swanky, no? But the designer’s Fall ’14 ads, starring show-opener Adriana Lima at the storied Four Seasons, might just take the proverbial cake. “Fall is all about a power woman, and I chose the Four Seasons because all the powerest of power lunches happen there,” offered Wu over the phone. “I felt it was really glamorous.” The campaign debuts exclusively here.

Wu recalled that his first experience at the uptown haunt was one such lunch about seven years ago. “It was when I first got into the industry, and I was meeting an editor. When I walked in there, everyone looked so important! I felt like a little kid. But I’ve been going there ever since.”

So why was Lima Wu’s Fall ’14 supe of choice? “She’s sexy, and there’s this feline-esque prowess that felt appropriate for the clothes. And she’s got those eyes! She’s like our own Bianca Jagger,” he said. “Adriana is a new take on the supermodel—she’s from a different era. At the end of the day, these ads are about the women and the sexiness, and I continue to choose women who inspire me.”

Naturally, I wondered if Wu would be making his signature campaign cameo this season—and don’t fret, he is. “Inez always insists,” he laughed. He apparently played a bit of dress-up on set, too, admitting that he tried on a few of hairstylist Shay Ashual’s wigs. “Maybe I’ll be the model for the next Supermodel Supper Club,” he joked. “In all seriousness, could you imagine me sending that to you? The nerve!” Full disclosure, Mr. Wu, I would absolutely love it.

She looks amazing. The pose is a bit awkward, but she looks super gorgeous.

Awkward pose, but still a very nice campaign. Im happy for Adriana.

 

[GIVENCHYlover]

This is really ugly in my opinion. Her leg, the shoes...

 

[Nepenthes]

This looks extremely awkward, forced and pointless. Nothing makes sense. Jason Wu keeps on getting A-list models and yet he somehow manages to deliver one bad campaign after the other.

Where's the neck?

Where's the neck?

It's a turtleneck dress if that helps any.

Not sure about this particular image but I don't mind this quite eye catching. I love when Adriana and Inez & Vinoodh work together.

Nice ad, but is getting boring than these campaigns are shot in different restaurants.

Guys I think Jason Wu reads what we say about him, about his collections and his campaigns on tFS, because ... he finally removed himself from the ads!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!!

I have to say I love this shot! The composition, the restaurant and the angle are really cool and working great here!

A very different approach, that distinguish itself from the majority of boring campaigns shot in studios or the ones with fake backgrounds....

Ohhh sorry I didn't read the article, because I was so happy that Jason wasn't at the restaurant with Adriana.... too bad, thanks a lot for the heads up!

 

[Velasco]

If the idea is that Adriana is supposed to look like a mannequin, then this works. And I like this much better than the previous ads at the restaurants.

 

[marsnoop2]

The photography is nice, the setting is nice, Adriana looks great, but this is just such a weird effing concept.

[kokobombon]

I don´t like her head´s position and the dress makes her waist blend with the background making it look a freak of a tiny waist

 

[GivenchyHomme]

As long as he doesn't make an appearance this will remain fairly decent.
