He's a cool, young, New York fashion designer and yes he's probably most famous for dressing Michelle Obama for Barack Obama's inauguration. But Jason Wu started out designing clothes for dolls and his current collaboration with TSE cashmere company looks not so much like a life size version range of dolls clothing, but like what I imagine the wardrobe of a well-groomed art student with a penchant for burgundy wine and lengthy discussions about architecture and would look like, (not to be too specific...)
From a foundation of big basic t-shirts and pom pom hats are fine knits and the featuring of fur, silk and suede. Tweed overcoats and cashmere crewneck sweaters. An almost neutral colour range, bright red lipstick, and ankle boots., fine knits. Wu has created what I would call an exceptional look of youthful sophistication.
Also, if anybody is going to Japan anytime soon and would be interested in having a stowaway accompany them then please be sure and let me know: I fit all the critera. Fact.
Because... Comme des Garcons has opened a Trading Musuem in Tokyo. Not so much a museum filled with dusty old historic artifacts that are interesting in a somewhat education manner but a space wherein displays have a trading emphasis yet those who come to view are actually unable to purchase any of the collections. A shop where you are forbidden to shop. How excellent is that?!! Okay it might be a bummer if you were actually looking for new clothes, but think how many times have you wanted to go into a designer store but been too afraid because of that feeling of knowing the shop assistants know you can't actually afford anything in there, not even a single sock... and now that can never happen!
