As the
WSJ's Heard on the Runway points out, last fall Jason Wu was considered a talented and emerging young designer.

On Friday, Wu showcased another collection of his classic ladylike ensembles. Wu's bread and butter is a cool yet wearable line of feminine dresses in rich, bold colors--the very colors that Mrs. Obama seems to prefer. Wu was asked if he designed with the First Lady in mind and said that she is "the ultimate muse." I expect that some of these designs will walk right off the runway and into the White House closet.
