After viewing this collection someone commented that he is
in love. I’d like to counter that and say he’s in lust. It’s quite obvious-to
me anyway-that Wu has been watching way too much hardcore gay porn. Think
brawny leather daddies in harnesses trampling each other with their boots and fists.
That sort of thing. But of course there’s always the balance of the hard and
the soft which is just so typical of designers. He’s married hard leather with
delicate lace, crystals, and silk. Carolyn Murphy opened the show and she
killed it in a form-fitting leather dress with a lace panel right under her
tits. There were snug, flirty dresses in leather and silk with beautifully
pieced lace trims at the hem which really put Wu’s workmanship on display. His
attention to fit and cut is really quite spectacular and I think some of his
peers should take notes because I’m seeing a lot of talent in New York but the execution
is garbage.
Wu’s vision and brand DNA is so evident that it’s great to
see him take some chances and push himself to express a smutty side to his
personality. It’s dirty slick.
