At Nordstrom Fashion Valley, Jason Wu Dishes on His Spring 2011 Wares
Yes, he’s young;
yes, the First Lady adores him, but the reason Jason Wu is capturing
our attention right now is that he’s begun to move into edgier, more
tailored waters for Spring 2011.
We caught up with the designer at Nordstrom Fashion Valley, where Wu
showed pieces from his ’40s-meets-’70s collection. "I'm really known for
my dresses, but in the last two, three seasons, I've been really
branching out into really tailored sportswear pieces — and this is the
season that we really tried to drive the point home," he tells The
Feast. “I felt more comfortable exploring a more dangerous side of me."
Here, Wu tells us why his turbans and Lauren Hutton-flavored lean
trousers are made for San Diego women. He also introduces us to his new
muse and mascot — and feathered friend — Miss Wu.
