I saw my potential as artistic director, which is very different from designer. Fashion companies might have $200 million to $300 million in annual sales - Hugo Boss has €2.5 billion. I have to create a world that is believable and also relevant in 7,000 sales points around the world. Jason Wu 000annualartistic share on social
I don't believe that you have to dress in a masculine way to seem powerful. I think that the way a woman dresses doesn't have to be so aggressive. Being feminine is a powerful feature in itself. Power is in a person's demeanor. Jason Wu aggressivedemeanordress 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 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
There is always going to be that luxury customer out there. I have clients who buy $10,000 dresses and clients who buy $60 dresses. It's not so much about the money. Design is a mentality. Jason Wu 000buyclient Change image and share on social
I've been known to create clothes that are very formfitting and feminine. Jason Wu clothecreatefeminine Change image and share on social
