Spring 2010: Jason Wu

Honestly, the first couple looks that came down the runway, particularly the suits, underwhelmed me. But, as he returned to his forte - beautiful and glamourous gowns - I became captivated. I am now lusting after the white jacket towards the end and in love with the feathery looks that punctuated the show.

The internet is abuzz with the announcement of the new inductees to the Council of Fashion Designers of America. Among the prestigious 31 invitees were: Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Alexander Wang and Jason Wu. I would say that Wang and Wu were not surprising, but I am a bit taken aback by the inclusion of the Olsen sisters. However, unlike many other 'celebrity brands,' they seem to have been welcomed into the fashion world with open arms and really do appear to have a lot of hands-on involvement in the process instead of merely lending their names to an established brand.

What are your thoughts on the new members? Do they deserve to be included amongst the special few?
