Jason Wu Fall 2012

The collection started off very regimental with military precision in terms of silhouettes. There was a lot of restriction and volume was kept minimal. (The only volume present was the luxe for trims around collars and necklines). Colours were also kept very basic, with dirty olive greens and jet black being the openers. After a while, there came a burst of vibrant red and burgundy paired with the fur. This was reminiscent of oriental dress and also the guards of buckingham palace/drummer boys. Adding to the oriental feel, heavy gold embroideries, minimal collars and lace were used to create further chinese opulence This collection is very different to Wu’s previous collections, his signature style is still visible in the form of the jewel tones and lace, but for fall, Wu went more edgy and sharp in terms of cuts and material combinations. Oriental circus. Incredible.
