I wanted to share about Jason Wu's capsule collection with cashmere house, Tse. We really loved some of the pieces resulting from this collaboration (and with the snow outside, I wished I was wearing one of the chunky, metallic, looped-tape-yarn scarves around my neck). The collection was full of lush knitwear, flannel blazers and cashmere sweaters layered over chiffon dresses and skirts.
A few of my personal favorites: a red and beige, blocked cashmere tee that was incredibly soft (the more informal fashion presentation allowed us to touch and feel a bit). Wu explained his science behind hand washing some of his fabrics, including cashmere and chiffon, to get that "extra feel" to it.
I loved the black cashmere dress with an off-white silk chiffon pleated underskirt (so much so that I asked our national buyer to take a note for me—a pitfall of the job).
Yes, it took me and few others about five minutes to figure out that it was one easy piece (I'll admit it; we had to ask the model). It was accessorized with black chunky ribbed gloves and a black leather skinny belt. A note about Wu's dresses: most of them deliver with the belts included, which is a huge plus in the designer world!
