Jason Wu's reputation for clean classicism took a glamorous turn this season with the designer injecting refinement and even a little opulence into his elegant collection. Embracing the traditional archetypes of American sportswear, such as the safari jacket, wrap dress and relaxed tailoring, Wu chose to create his versions from sophisticated fabrics like suede, leather and silk canvas, for extra allure. Blue silk tweed mimicked the variegated look of denim, while the use of floral appliqué and a splatter-printed jacquard added dimension to the clean silhouettes. The colour palette of basil, burnt umber, limestone and navy, added even more sensuality, especially with a series of languid, glittering cocktail dresses that closed the show. Delicate yet assertive, the collection set our New York fashion week off to the right start.
