Jason Wu Channels Old Hollywood Chic For F/W '12

Though born in Taiwan, Jason Wu hadn't been back in several years, using a recent trip there as the inspiration behind his F/W '12 collection. Models sported looks based off of Chinese military uniforms, with broad shoulders, grommets and epaulets. Wu says he was also inspired by '40s Hollywood fashion and its glamorous take on Asian fabrics and traditional dresses, as particularly seen on  Marlene Deitrich in Shanghai Express. Check out Greg Scaffidi's photos from backstage.
