Jason Wu treats New York to sexy elegance

JASON Wu, the wunderkind best known for dressing Michelle Obama, presented a New York show that was less about making a seasonal splash and more about cultivating loyalty from illustrious clients.

The Canadian-Taiwanese designer entitled “immaculate” the collection of his eponymous label at Fashion Week, where he is also making an appearance as artistic director of womenswear at Hugo Boss.

There was an impeccably cut navy dress with a round neck, a black dress with plunging decolletage embellished with a blue fur collar and a long-sleeve knit dress.

With an unusual nod to, if not austerity then at least sensible purchases, the designer said the Wu woman of fall/winter 2016 did not want to splurge thousands of dollars on a one-season wonder.

Wu shot to global prominence aged 26 when he dressed Obama in a stunning white creation for her husband’s first inaugural ball.
