Those of you who reside in our nation's capital have an opportunity to see a live, dynamic presentation of Jason Wu's Fall 2010 collection for TSE cashmere on August 12. To be held at The Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., the collection will be presented in the context of its inspiration -- paintings by American artist Robert Ryman.
FASHION COLLECTION BY JASON WU MEETS ITS FINE ART INSPIRATION
AT A SPECIAL PHILLIPS AFTER 5
With Neiman Marcus Mazza Gallerie
and Project Beltway’s Rachel Cothran
WHAT: Designer Jason Wu cites Robert Ryman’s painting as the muse for his fall 2010 TSE cashmere collection. For one evening, models act as living works of art in the Ryman exhibition, bringing Wu’s designs face-to-face with their fine art inspiration. A video of Wu’s fall 2010 ready-to-wear runway show is on view in the café, and a scavenger hunt leads visitors through the museum, collecting fashion and fine art facts for a chance to win prizes. The program is part of Phillips after 5, a lively evening of art and entertainment with food and cash bar.

Hmmmm. Some of these Jason Wu pieces are kind of cool. I like the gray coat over the beige and white dress! If any of you are in DC or within travel distance of DC the Phillips Museum is a really nice venue!
Thanks for sharing Mrs. T.!
