CLOTHES FOR THE CRAZY WEATHER AT JASON WU
The weather has been sobering indeed for the opening of Fashion Week - a deep chill settled in on Friday (13 FEB.), with worse to come - and Jason Wu says he was thinking about such things when he designed his collection.
"Well yeah every season's color palette has to speak a little bit to what the season is about. And this season it's pretty much more darker, sultry and I think a little bit of the red in the middle is really exciting because there's the sex appeal," he said Friday after his runway show in downtown Manhattan.
A number dresses or coats, for example, were accompanied by removable fur pieces.
Wu, who became famous by designing not one, but both of first lady Michelle Obama's inaugural gowns, called his new collection "a grown-up collection for me," with colors that were darker and more sultry. He favored an olive green, an ash gray, and black - with a pop of bright red in the middle.
Wu was tight-lipped about whether he's dressing any famous actresses for the Oscars on Feb. 22; Last year, a pregnant Kerry Washington wore a gown of his in a plum-violet shade.
He did agree, though, to reveal the name of someone he aspires to dress one day: last year's best actress winner. "I'd love to work with Cate Blanchett," he said.
