Vintage Danielle: Miss Wu

Jason Wu's fabulous ready to wear collection, Miss Wu, is here (for Spring 2013 pre-order)! The line is currently being sold in 49 Nordstrom stores as well as Nordstrom online for the first year and will be sold at other retailers afterwards. The 40 piece lineup ranges from $195 to $865. Although the prices aren't as affordable for a regular girl like myself, compared to Wu's regular namesake, the prices are considerably lower. It might be worth it to splurge for a couple of pieces!

Compared to Jason Wu's regular lineup, Miss Wu is described as it's younger girly sister with a mod era and west coast feel. The lineup is whimsical, colorful, and mixed with geometric prints, stripes, floral designs, textured shifts, and charming little sequin and bow details. Wu told Fashionista, "The Miss Wu girl is, on the other hand, she’s a little more worn in, a little grittier, her hair is a little messier, her makeup might be from the night before."

Jason Wu also said this about his more affordable line to WWD, "Instead of just doing ‘Jason Wu-for-less,’ the idea is to explore the other side of myself...I always see Jason Wu [the collection] as my aesthetic, my design sensibility. Miss Wu is my personality. It was really fun to explore that facet of who I am — slightly more downtown, and with a more relaxed attitude.”
