We all want to be a little glamorous, a little playful and a little mischievous at times. Jason Wu glamorousmischievousplayful Change image and share on social
My inspirations come from everywhere. It's important to look at everything and anything. I think what I create is serious fashion, but I don't want to keep my focus on that. You have to look at a lot of different things. I mean, people are always surprised when they find out that my favorite show is 'RuPaul's Drag Race.' Jason Wu createdragfashion share on social
I dress some of the most successful women in the world, and meeting these women rubs off on you. A few years ago, the woman was someone I imagined in my head. Now they're real. It's important my work evolve along with me and that I show more facets of myself. Jason Wu agodressevolve share on social
I happen to like selling clothes as much as creating them. It isn't relevant unless it sells. Jason Wu clothecreatehappen Change image and share on social
I came from product design originally - I had been designing dolls for a toy company since I was 16 - so I'm used to working with plastic and different things. I had an innate interest in objects. Jason Wu companydesigndoll Change image and share on social
I don't feel comfortable talking about the specifics of how it all comes together, but the truth is, I don't ever know when Michelle Obama is going to wear my clothes! She, like everyone else, picks her outfits and wears them when she wants - sometimes two or three times. It's not ever calculated. Jason Wu calculateclothecomfortable share on social
Designers have always shown outlandish and exuberant clothes, but that hasn't always translated to the streets. Jason Wu clothedesignerexuberant Change image and share on social
I would buy Barbies and take them apart and then remake their looks. I used them for hairstyling. It was a whole process. I had a lot of dolls - like 150. Jason Wu barbybuydoll Change image and share on social
I'm an American designer. It's important to riff on that. I remember, when my mom and I first came to the States, she was so shocked that everyone was so dressed down in sandals and shorts. It's not quite like that in Asia. To give that a superluxurious makeover? For me to make street wear? It's sort of chic to do it. Jason Wu americanasiachic share on social
I am an Asian designer. I was born in Taiwan. That is who I am. But I am a designer, like any designer of any race. Growing up in the '80s in Taiwan, the arts were not considered a career. Jason Wu 80sartasian Change image and share on social
