If you’re wondering where you’ve heard the name Jason Wu before it was probably on President Obama’s inauguration day. That gorgeous white dress Mrs. Obama wore was one of his designs. In fact, he didn’t even know she was going to wear the dress he had submitted for consideration weeks earlier until he saw her on TV. But, prior to that, Wu had already been making a name for himself in the fashion world. His first collection in 2006 (at only 23 years old!) put him on the map as one of America’s leading designers. Influenced by the early days of ready-to-wear in the fifties, Wu believes in celebrating the curves of a woman’s body and creates frocks that emphasize the hourglass figure. In January 2008 he received the Fashion Group International’s Rising Star Award for Women’s Ready-to-Wear as well as being one of the finalists in the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund. So now that you know who he is, you won’t want to miss his trunk show at Nordstrom NorthPark this Friday, June 12 from 11am-4pm in the Collectors department on the second floor. A rep will be there to answer any questions you may have so now is the perfect time to check out his gorgeous pieces in person. To schedule an appointment or for more info, contact the store at (214)231-3900, extension 1350.
