Jason Wu Pre-Fall

Jason Wu’s struck a taste for the Maharaja—the gilded echelons of Indian society—and used the reference as a driving inspiration in his pre-fall collection. Images of swanning princesses and rich embroideries combined with the works of modern artist, Charley Harper, provoked Wu to design a playful yet structured collection that included this parka suit—his fresh take on workwear for the early fall months (though given this year’s weather patterns, it may be better ‘suited’ for February). “It feels sophisticated and sporty at the same,” Wu said of his design. The look—comprised of a matching skirt and overcoat with a sharp monochromatic sweater underneath, is unlike any suit we’ve seen before; taking the polished girl-on-the-go to the next level by creating a jacket to-match.
