At young designer Jason Wu's show on Friday, it was clear that Wu is about to join the ranks of other young designers like Phillip Lim, Doo Ri, and Thakoon as the forefront names on Seventh Avenue. Wu's collection was a bit like the best of Doris Day's wardrobe from her Rock Hudson and Cary Grant movies; short sleeved cocktail sheaths, belted and over the knee; full New Look style skirts five inches past the knees, teamed with sweaters and blazers, a white floral blouse with pink and green, teamed with sharp grey Hepburn (as in Katherine) style trousers - very Faye Dunaway in "Network" - and a killer luxe pants look; a fuschia satin blouse teamed with grey lush trousers, and a full pale gray coat with a big fur shawl collars. These are serious clothes for very fun women.
