Jason Wu debuted his first Ready-to-Wear Collection in 2006 with a unique and distinctive esthetic. Through merging American sportswear with old world sophistication, he has established a supremely feminine and modern sensibility.

Although only 28, the precocious designer has already achieved many of his aspirations. He has emerged as one of the leading global talents based in NYC but continues to evolve and grow as a designer. Jason continues to receive accolades including being named one of the finalists in the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund in July 2008. In June 2010 he won the Swarovski Award for Womenswear at the CFDA Fashion Awards and in April 2011 he was nominated for the CFDA/Swarovski Award for Accessory Design. After winning the award Jason was approached by the CFDA about a potential collaboration with MELISSA. Wu manages to create luxurious-yet- thoroughly modern clothes, and at the same time work on innovative collaborations.

“I am so thrilled to be collaborating with Melissa because it gave me a chance to work with a brand new material-plastic. I find it both an exciting challenge and a great opportunity to be able to present my work on a new platform.” Jason Wu
