Jason Wu

Jason Wu launched his eponymous line in 2006 and became a household name when First Lady Michelle Obama wore one of his dresses to the 2009 inaugural ball. From palm-frond-patterned pencil skirts to simple streamlined slip dresses, Wu's collections are always fun and distinctly feminine. In 2013 he took on the role of women's fashion director director at Hugo Boss.
