Jason Wu's Spring 2025 collection during New York Fashion Week will feature calligraphic work by Chinese artist Tong Yang-Tze.
For his spring 2025 collection, which will parade around the gardens outside Hudson Yards on Sunday, the designer has collaborated with Taiwanese artist Tong Yang-Tze , renowned for her large-scale calligraphic paintings.
In an interview, Wu explained fashion, like art, “has to be a reaction to what’s going on in culture, so it’s always nice to have this meeting of the minds. But on a basic level, Ms. Tong just makes beautiful things, so it’s great to be able to partner with her for this occasion,” he said.
The museum recently selected Tong for its 2024 Great Hall Commision to be unveiled in November. At age 82, it will be her first major display in the United States. “She’s very well known in Asia, butThinking about Tong’s calligraphy in abstract terms, Wu is calling the collection “Ink,” something he associates closely with childhood. “I had to learn to do calligraphy in elementary school and her work kind of took me back there,” he said.
This led him to experiment with embroidery and silk-screening techniques, while the gestural shapes of Tong’s characters more loosely informed his silhouettes. “You can see how her strokes done with such a big brush creates really beautiful lines that almost look like they should be wrapped around the body,” Wu said.
