i had to, i just had to jump the gun and post about the catwalks, after seeing the beauty of jason wu's latest collection, there's something so beautiful about the simplicity of the collection that speaks out to me. the collection can be summarised in three groups: neon brights, flower petal print, and whites.
brights

when jason wu approaches neons, he keeps it simple: block colour, black belts, and blocks of texturised white. the a-symmetry in the pink skirts and hems means that blocks are broken up. his use of chiffon-like almost weightless nylon mutes the colours. there's no doubt that the lime-green short in the front long in the back (no, not a mullet!) ball gown will be gracing our red-carpets on the lithe body of the next mischa barton
flower petals
modelled by (l-r) : mirte maas, ming xi, valerija kelava, daria strokous
when mr wu cited infamous graffiti artist KAWS as an influence for this collection, it wasn't just lip-service, this gorgeous falling-petal silk screen print is a result of the collaboration of jason wu and KAWS, and isn't it wonderful? from the elegant dress made from nylon to those gorgeous tailored shorts, even palazzo pants. there is no doubt that this print is going to be shaking from the trees of the highstreet this spring.
whites
modelled by (l-r) : caroline brasch nielsen, lindsey wixson, siri tollerød, daphne groenveld
white has always been a spring summer colour, it sings of fresh sheets, fresh cut grass, and wispy white clouds against a blue sky. so it's no surprise that a large proportion of this collection is white. but this white is spruced up and made new with textured fabric, loosely pleated skirts and blouses with added peplums all finished off with strappy black sandals and skinny black belts. perfection. obviously.
so, what've been your favourite collections so far? and keep an eye out for my round up of the spring collections soon!
