Best of Spring 2010: Jason Wu

From his simple-yet-chic daywear to his glitter and glam cocktail dresses, Jason Wu has wooed me once again.  There's a bit of a fifties flair in these waist cinching silhouettes, but the fabric choices and embellishments are anything but retro.  Jason Wu is certainly a designer to keep an eye on.

I heart Jason Wu

And no, it's not because he dressed the first lady.  I've been a fan of his work for many seasons now, and an even bigger fan of how he conducts his business.  After working in this Devil Wears Prada industry for several years, I've learned it is rare to find a designer as talented, and yet humble as Jason Wu.  After turning down offers of book deals and reality TV, Wu chooses to focus on carefully growing his label.  He addressed his recent fame and success in an interview with British Vogue saying, 

"I don't want any of the fame bit to go to my head.  I'm only ever as good as my last collection."
