A highly disappointing Jason Wu show, whose signature ladylike chic has been replaced by Versace-esque mixes of leather and lace. I have always liked his young take on “ladies who lunch” and this show, lacking in colour, elegance, and personality, felt all wrong. Even the shorts suits, which were very pretty and nicely cut, featured hot pants. It is easy to put a model into a pair of tailored hot pants and make her look good, but how about trying to cut a shorts suit that will flatter a person of normal height, who can’t wear Daisy Dukes to the office?
I love…
chic leather pants (yes, that IS possible) and a very pretty lace top.
I loathe…
when Jason Wu, who is supposed to be about chic, ladylaike fashion, does bra tops and cut out leather skirts. There are a lot of brands who do this already, give us something they don’t.
the no-pants look. This ONLY looks good on Lady Gaga.
when Jason Wu tries to do Haider Ackermann, and it looks terrible.
corsets, leather, and lace. Are we at Versace?
