Jason Wu to Launch Capsule Collection and Fur Line

By Natalia Rachlin

jason-wu-1223.jpgJust when we were starting to worry that nary a designer could avoid a little recession depression, along comes Jason Wu to soothe our fears. We just learned that come fall, in addition to his covetable, namesake line, Wu will be adding "The Exclusives" to his roster. A capsule collection of basic silhouettes that retailers can personalize as they wish, The Exclusives consists of three dresses, two jackets, a knitted cardi, a knitted T, and a skirt. All the items are available in 15 different colors and fabrics, that can be a "store exclusive" if the retailer so desires. We're thinking this customization might be a trend we'll be seeing more of - retailers don't want to be stuck with unbuyable merchandise, and likewise, designers don't want to be producing goods that won't be bought up. Wu is also branching into dangerous PETA territory come the colder months, when he plans to launch a fur line in collaboration with Saga Furs. (WWD).
