.JasonWu created a green oasis on the roof of Spring Studios for a collection that was inspired by his “home away from home,” Tulum.
Why risk the contact of a live show? Shows cost a fortune. Who’s going to buy and wear a season’s worth of clothes right now, anyway? Despite the myriad prudent, powerful reasons that virtual shows make all the sense in the world in this COVID-19 season, being at Jason Wu’s live show at Spring Studios on Sunday night felt great, and not only for the plentiful charm and appeal of the contemporary collection that he put on the runway for the first time.
Upstairs, on the roof, Wu created a green oasis, courtesy of his show sponsor, Lowe’s, which really came through. For the runway, a path of pewter pine planks curved its way atop a ground cover of sand and through a lush installment of more than 800 densely packed trees that will be donated to a small business, the A. Visconti Garden Center in Brooklyn. The rooftop layout was as clever as it was inviting because, despite the tiny crowd, it didn’t feel empty.
Sometimes he kept the mood unfettered, and often, the detailing came via the fabrics such as open-work borders and a focus on stripes and prints, the latter sometimes mixed, as in a column dress with full sleeves, its vertical halves in companion prints. The palette ranged from fresh to feisty with plenty of stripes and prints in the mix. It all looked inviting, clothes for a world of beauty and happiness — in that sense, aspirational fashion.
