by “What I really like about fashion is the reflection of what is happening in our society, and it is a time when I think we need it,” said Jason Wu behind the stage about his pretty spring show, while we give the finishing touch with a cladding inspired by upholstery. If you organize a show a year, the designer has given the freedom to give his clothes with greater importance, which has led to designs that were seen by the lens of deconstructed, raw beauty and for special artists.
This season WU has put together a partnership with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, which marks its 100th birthday to explore the dialogue between art and fashion through collage. Access to the archive has concentrated on 10 of the artists’ works from his 1970s host frost series and airport shape editions, which contain excessive translucent textiles, unexpected materials such as cardboard and cross-solvent images. They were not only considered by WU clothing, but also loaned in its industrial exhibition space.

He translated the artist’s methodology by summarizing and developing and developing his Purina dog pockets and working with a trumpe-l’oeil effect with a trumpy-l’oeil effect. WU continued to fill the collection with a manual texture and combined stripes of printed laundry dates. The layers of a brown corset dress inspired by cardboard and draped and printed panels to give his uninterrupted evening and sports clothing work to give new dimension. A nice balance between art and fashion.
“In the first 10 years of my career, I tried to be very perfect because I thought that people wanted to see that. I take my DNA, but I would do it now with a little more intestine,” said Wu.
