Wu Wu Style

So, If you read my blog it shouldn't come as a surprise to you that I am a dear fan of Mr.Wu's creations! This season was no exception and my love affair continues.

This season Wu played with a lot of elements, transparency and texture mainly taking center stage. The show started with a strong message; black, white and grey. These colors were the core of collection with a strong red, rich camel and electric blue making appearances as well. The classic Wu feather dress nipped at the waist made its appearance in a couple of different forms on Cara in white. Collars were closed to the top and clean lines were important.

In a couple words: I want all this in my closet!

Peplum Trend 2012

Givenchy

I am so thankful for this trend! A peplum is basically a piece of material on a skirt or dress that is attached onto the waist and its length tends to vary. This little piece of fabric creates a stylish element and a little hiding spot for any extra pounds you may be carrying. So, expect to be wearing this next spring for sure! It was on the runways of Jason Wu, Cynthia Rowley, Vera Wang (to name a few)...

Regardless, be ready to embrace this trend into your wardrobes next year!

Mr. Wu's signature feather look

I would kill for this one! Stunning color

The message was loud and clear at Jason Wu, one word; edgy. Even the runway seemed to look like shattered pieces of glass. Form the bold orange lip color, to the spiky hair do, everything seemed to relay the same sentiment. That said, Wu did give us the pieces that we have come to know and love him for. Great tailored pieces, expert craftsmanship, and of course the signature feathers.Wu did depart form things as usual in new fabrics and silhouettes. Along with an interesting fresh new color palette for Spring.

Inspired by Robert Polidori's book on the restoration of Versailles. There was definitely something royal about this collection. Jason Wu reminds us all why he is a force to be reckoned with and proves why he has quickly risen to be the star of the fashion world. He achieved his usual aesthetic of the polished feminine look. He placed a great emphasis on tailoring, continuing on from last season.

The collection seemed to be split into menswear inspired daylooks to uber feminine eveningwear. The lace was everywhere, it appeared on coats, tops, dresses, it was definitely the main focus of the collection. Wu's embroidery was also impressive, little flower motifs portraying the royalty of the collection.

Wu hit this one out of the park to say the least. The collection screams, class, elegance and feminine. All professional woman rejoice! There is no denying this collection is a hit, worthy of a first lady!
