For his Resort ‘12 collection, Jason Wu channeled the vivid colors of Puerto Rico, glimpsed during a New Year’s vacation last year. Now that the weather in New York is turning chilly, a return to the beach sounds pretty appealing. That’s where Wu and photographer KT Auleta went to shoot their new Resort video. “KT [...]

The menswear phenomenon has been going strong for quite some time, so shorts suits have been on the periphery of our trend radar (see Diane Kruger in Jason Wu Resort). But designers really pushed the two-piecers into the spotlight on the Spring runways. While Carven’s Guillaume Henry and Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez [...]

Couture-inspired silhouettes popped up in droves on the Spring runways, so it makes sense that peplums are having a moment. In the late forties and fifties, Christian Dior added flounces to the waistline of jackets as part of the New Look. This season, everyone from the current team at Dior to designers like Jason Wu [...]

Jason Wu has joined the ranks of Rodarte, Thakoon, and Richard Chai as the newest Target collaborator. Wu’s collection is the first designer collaboration set to bow after the success of Missoni for Target, WWD reports. [WWD]Designer Tabitha Simmons enlisted the help of Craig McDean and one very talented tap dancer to show off [...]

The boy-meets-girl look has been bigger than ever the past few seasons (for proof, see the Tux Love story in our Fall trend reports), but the dandy-ish neckties we’ve been spotting on celebs lately are something new. Both Diane Kruger and Jaime King wore Jason Wu looks knotted at the throat last week. Kruger topped [...]

“I’m an honorary Aussie,” Jason Wu told Style.com last night at the annual Australians in New York Fashion Foundation cocktail party. “I have worked with so many Australian models, have lots of friends from there, and Mardi Gras there is so insane.” Last night’s soirée in the penthouse of the High Line’s new HL23 building [...]

Jason Wu is headed online in a big way. Weeks ago, the New York-based designer made his Twitter debut—via an emissary of sorts, his cartoon owl mascot, Miss Wu, who tweets her own 140-character thoughts from a roost in the Wu atelier. Now, Wu is set to re-launch his Web site with a new e-commerce [...]

For the crowd sitting front-row at the Jeffrey Fashion Cares runway show last night, something seemed not quite right. It wasn’t the event (the annual fundraiser for AIDS charities) or the venue (the U.S.S. Intrepid battleship). It was just that, with Jason Wu (left, with JFC founder and Jeffrey New York owner Jeffrey Kalinsky), Joseph [...]

Outspoken model Rie Rasmussen revealed this week that she’s switched agencies and is ready for another go at the scene. The catwalker is breaking away from her longtime agency, One (of which she remains part owner), and signing with Next to focus on her own career. She’s already been making appearances in the front row [...]

Jason Wu’s accessories collection has been growing just like his ready-to-wear has been—that is to say, fast and furious. After launching a few key styles for Spring, Wu expanded for pre-fall, and for Fall, showed a gilded range inspired, as his entire season was, by Versailles and its painstaking restoration. “I wanted the accessories to [...]
