Tuesday night designer Jason Wu presented his ladylike Spring collection at L.A.'s
Satine Boutique, the one West coast spot to score exclusive designs from Wu.
Co-hosted by Lucy Liu and
MySpace Fashion, the evening teemed with Wu fans including Kate Mara (at right with the designer), January Jones, Erica Christensen, Rachel Zoe and China Chow -- a host of chic stylesetters eager to praise the young designer.
And no wonder -- Wu explained to us where his inspiration comes from: "I love working with young actresses who are just on the verge. It's always good to have a muse."
Jason Wu is a CFDA finalist whose collection can be found at Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus, and of course
Satine.
As the WSJ's Heard on the Runway points out, last fall Jason Wu was considered a talented and emerging young designer. But since Michelle Obama chose Jason Wu dresses to wear for the inaugural balls and her first Vogue cover, he's suddenly gone from being the up and coming to the made it big. 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.
