Boss S/S 2017
Jason Wu presents a pulsing, primary colour-filled show for Boss
Scene setting: Boss enlisted Chameleon Visual to conceptualise the set design for its spring/summer 2017 show. The collaboration resulted in a backdrop filled with vivid, circle-shaped lights that pulsed on demand.
Mood board: Jason Wu looked at the vibrant hues and architectural lines of David Hockney’s pool series as the starting point. The result was full of bold colour – electric blue, scarlet and forest green – and sleek, curved detailing that was sporty, yet tailored.
Finishing touches: Wu finished off a strapless blue dress with sheer green sleeves. Internal drawstrings and adjustable straps gave the collection a more relaxed feel.
