Jason Wu S/S 10 New York

[jenah]

i love this.
i didnt think it would be so playful.
i thought it would look michelle obama-y. nothing wrong with that.
it was nice though.

Some pieces remind me of Lanvin.

while i agree with the criticism that so many of these clothes find themselves too matronly, i love that he picked up that palette that oscar de la renta did so well for his fall collection. and as someone said earlier, there exist quite a few ensembles i'm sure we'll see gracing the (bare) arms of our first lady. it's interesting to see how he's focused a little more on "dressed up" clothes -- i guess if someone's going to do jason wu, it's going to be for a special occassion.

seriously...I think the collection is messy,I can find the trace of DG,lanvin,vuitton and MJ except jason wu,I have read the title of the thread for 3 times....still can't believe it's his collection

the pantsuits are horrible but the dresses are cute but look straight of Forever 21's 12 by 12 brand .

 

[kasper!]

Give us sth original..whether it's good or bad..

 

[Hei Hei]

for me, this collection is a mess.

 

[kinky_didi]

maryMeeker i totally agree with you..i prefer something original...than something already done..especially since this "copies" aren't better then the "originals"

 

[JuiceMajor]

Wow Im so impressed by this collection I was never too excited by his stuff before but I think this is a brilliant collection that will do terific in stores and the red carpet, the feather dresses are heavenly and all the cocktail dresses are sublime especially the one on Chanel is my favorite.

Cathy Horyn review

Have you ever become completely irritated by a box of chocolate? You know the kind: concept chocolate, artfully arranged in a just-so box, flavors exotic and trying. I’m afraid that was my overall reaction to Jason Wu’s collection on Friday at the St. Regis Hotel.

Mr. Wu has a pretty good eye for color and prints. This season he plays with broken-wave prints (he called them Rorschach prints in his show notes) and some silk or denim tweeds with the small-grid pattern of industrial screens. For some reason I liked the idea of a slim, hooded tracksuit in dark tweed. It’s wearable and, at the same time, just a little out of it. A tweed mini-sheath with whorls of staple-like embroidery was lovely.

But a banality creeps into the picture. Whereas Mr. Gurung manages to take lightly the notion of feminine packaging, Mr. Wu treats it with a prissiness. Waists are defined and ribbon-tied. There are peplums aplenty. You suspect that Mr. Wu, like many designers, has spent a few hours gazing at the play clothes of Claire McCardell. Yet his cuffed shorts look unplayful and certainly not original. Though he tries.

He should try a little less hard is the answer. Not everything in life is a spotless decorator interior or a magazine spread. He should loosen up a bit. And why the uniformly short hemlines, six inches above the knee? That in itself is the sign of a fairly conformist outlook.

Overall was a bit too much for me.

 

[afterrhours]

i don't like the pantsuits at all, and the setting is very distracting

 

[RandomGlitter]

It's nothing ground breaking, but very wearable and gorgeous. I love those lime green pop of colour waistbands.

Those pantsuits can be burned though.

 

[Andymoon]

D&G FW 09 much?

 

[stateofbliss]

I really like the dresses and skirts - fun prints, yet very wearable. DO NOT CARE for the pantsuits though.

I love the venue that he chose to present this collection. And Lakshmi looks drop dead gorgeous in that red dress.

 

[cosmicangel]

Everything is ugly, especially the dresses, wouldn't wear any of these stuff.

 

[knockturnal]

not a very cohesive collection but the makeup is lovely and I want that poofy silver dress in post #24
