If the definition of sui generis is being
the one or ones of a class with no other members; then Jason Wu for Spring 2015
showed just the opposite. From what has already been shown, the emerging trend
is toward wearable clothes that have no distinguishing traits and lots of “Armani”
neutrals.
What started out very promisingly with
the camouflage type print devolved into a collection that is generic, somewhat
boring and vague due to overused references. Jason Wu has always had some bad
girl vibe running thru a collection but today the only naughty girls you saw
was one in black leather or in a very deep plunging neck gown. Can we talk
here?
If the only stars of the show were bugle
beaded dresses that were at the same time generic, been there done that and
oddly sexy, well I think there needs to be a reassessment of “who is Jason Wu?”
as far as can be seen here there is nothing here to write home about nor
anything to really talk about. Oh and a lot of very bad shoes!
Apparently, fashion is taking a turn
backwards and designers are being misled into believing that boring is better
and stepping out only causes attention. Once again, where are the “designers
who design?”
