John Rocha may be my favorite undiscovered designer but Wu is my favorite discovered designer. Sometimes my fav designer of all time is Rocha, sometimes Wu, depending on my mood. Jason Wu's clothes are the perfect cross of feminine, creative and sublimely beautiful. Such as this confection from his latest collection. A houndstooth-esque print that looks like fallen black and white feathers is printed on a just wispy enough clothe encasing a sophisticated shell. It is accented by a well placed boat neck. slightly transparent cap sleeves drip over the models shoulders, the overall effect is a timeless beauty.

another one of his, showing his more artsy flambouant side is this number. A low nap, high sheen skirt with subtle pleating to bring out the way the waterfalls of mustard fabric spill out compliments a floaty blouse. A widewailed chunky trench reminds me of something chanel did; the feminine suits they did for spring.

this dress is geniouse. I ruffled, semi-tiered peach dress with tiny lettuce ruffling is a fairytale. perfectly fitted and perfectley slouchy at the same time this dress is totall cocktail elegance. This dress is floaty yet retains a slight sheen.

this frothy, milky tan gown is tiered, showered with perfectly tossy and messy ruffles and is fluffed to it's prime, yet remains not too fussy. A subtle pin prick sized polka dot pattern is inscribed into the floaty fabric. The wrapped strapless bodice is flattering especcially for those with narrow shoulders as it will broaden them. It's also just a universally flattering cut since it brings attention to the face and neck.

this dress reminds me of an edgier Wu, a risky dramatic Wu, similar to what I would expect from Ralph Lauren or perhaps Yves Saint Laurent. It si slender, skimming over the models body, skinny but not tight so it appears graceful. The heavily adorned fabric shimmers a rich jewel tone blue that looks saturated and rich. As the design disperses we can see the velvety texture of the fabric.
