Ever the classicist Jason Wu injected a dose of power dressing into his sleek, feminine signature this season. The moody collection, which included slinky velvet dresses, broad-shouldered overcoats and turtleneck mohair sweaters, evoked a brooding sexiness with its covered, but figure-conscious silhouettes and an inky palette of burgundy, chocolate, mink grey and sea green. Wu's construction skills, a forte which he has proved time and time again, allowed him to express his idea of feminine strength as effortlessly in a handkerchief-necked silk column gown or a long-sleeved embellished jumpsuit. Evening-oriented overcoats were a particular strong suit. Ranging from boxy shapes trimmed with fur that dropped just under the hip, to an under-the-knee leather coat that pushed all our buttons. Days away from his Hugo Boss debut, Wu proved that it's not just what's on the inside that counts.
