Wu Goes Plastic...Again!

Now that Jason Wu is a household name, he’s being kept on watch by the fashion world. If you aren't familiar with Wu's early work as a designer of doll fashions, now you are. Even though he's known to keep a life-size lady cute, he still touches back on his olden days. His latest plastic collection marks the debut of his Fall 2009 collection at Colette in Paris, which will hit the store this week. The limited-edition Colette doll sells for €215. Wu chose look 20: a belted ivory cashmere coat with a fairylike feather-embroidered hem.

“Doing a doll is like drawing a caricature,” Wu explains. “You don’t render all the details, just the most distinctive ones. That’s why it has to be a fun look.”

Mrs. 1st Lady Could've Done Better

So I know all you fashonista's have been keeping an eye on Michelle Obama's wardrobe lately. Well me too, and I have to say I was NOT impressed with the silk chiffon dress that was embellished with Swarovski crystals by designer Jason Wu. Obviously, the dress had to be one-of-the-kind when dealing with a lady of this caliber. I just think that the dress is not flattering when it comes to Michelle's shape. I was really shocked when I found out that it was designed by Wu, seeing as though I have always been a fan of most of his collections. I also wonder why she chose Wu out of all the other designers that were begging to dress Michelle for this significant night. The world will never know...

Let me know what you think!

Sometimes The Sidewalk IS The Catwalk

Sorry to say...but this look looks much better off the runway. Sometimes the scrawny lil models just don't do the clothes any justice.
