Jason Wu Spring 2014 RTW: Easy Glamour

Jason Wu stunned audiences during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week with his glitzy shimmering designs.

He provided show attendees with a style call, “easy glamour” where trendsetters can feel beautiful and chic in comfortable garments.  From slip dresses to corsets, this collection provided a variety of looks that can transform from day to night.

According to Vogue Magazine, Wu stated “I wanted the body to speak for itself.  Let the fabric do the magic.”  And he achieved just that!
