New York Fashion Week – the first of the major events on the seasonal global fashion calendar – has begun for the spring/summer 2017 collections, with Taiwanese-born designer Jason Wu showcasing a collection of wool pieces that demonstrated his innate ability to dress a woman.
In his new collection, the designer did just that, presenting a series of expertly tailored pieces – including a form-fitting coat dress, a ruffle-finished bandeau dress and asymmetrical skirts – in easy-to-wear Merino wool. Special finishes, such as metallic taffeta pleats and banding, added a sense of summery femininity to the pieces, as is Wu’s unique skill.
