Jason Wu Spring 2013 Ready To Wear

Jason Wu Spring 2013 Ready To Wear

Young illustrious designer, Jason Wu showcased a piquant Spring 2013 Collection. The designer steered away from his usual design philosophy and moved into new territory seamlessly with a collection nostalgic of old Hollywood glamour meets modern day provocation.

The collection's themes consisted of the ultra feminine whimsy versus masculine dominatrix androgyny.

Striking garments included a tough leather, panelled crocodile shift with delicate lace inserts, a black leather apron with T-bar back complete with laser cut floral hem and a sheer chiffon trench blazer with features including leather placket, cuffs, collar and slimline belt. 

The underwear as outwear trend had a strong presence on the runway as a result of a collaboration with luxe lingerie house, La Perla. An abundance of lace was in attendance.

Nude lace brassieres and leather bustiers were paired with high waisted flirty,flounce skirts. Pencil skirts with subtle peplums were on display. Stovepipe and cigarette leg trousers offered clean, crisp, polished tailoring.

The colour palette was monochromatic with pops of navy and coral. A cheeky coral lace onesie was a playful addition. A pussy bow blouse in the sheerest of sheer chiffon was teamed with a decadent lace pant. A nude cropped quilted moto bomber jacket was redolent of sophisticated sass. 

Accessories included skinny leather harnesses, fishnet gloves, black face nets, leopard minaudieres, hat box handbags, a white leather & leopard satchel,and oversized sunglasses.

Fabulous footwear involved embellished chiffon peep toe stiletto bootie, leopard stiletto with nacre ankle strap detail and lace court shoe with black toe cap complete with crystal encrusted heel.

Chic side part chignons added glamour. Luminous porcelain skin complimented glossy crimson lips. Dark, lacquered nails were in the shade of ebony.
