Fashion Ticker: Jason Wu and Erin Fetherston

Jason Wu showed a demure spring 2009 collection that, true to his word, was “young, chic, and put together.” Inspired by a trip to Tokyo, Mr. Wu created flowing silhouettes cinched to make a woman look like a woman. A tulle ivory tank embellished with French knots and Swarovski crystals incorporated a scoop back. Silks and chiffons were on prominent display on everything from faille coats to pleated dresses. Also notable was Mr. Wu’s work with tweeds, not just in coats and blazers, but skinny belts and even a dress with a draped collar. Toward the end of the show, bursts of fuchsia and violet gave way to black, white, and Kelly green as Mr. Wu transitioned into evening wear. The last model marched down the runway as the Supremes’ “Baby Love” played.
