Jason Wu has announced about his decision to collaborate with Tse, a cashmere label which has a chain of boutiques and online stores.
The goal is to create an exclusive range of knitwear.
Jason is excited with his latest project as this is a completely new sphere he has never worked in:
In many ways, I am probably the least expected designer to do this, because Tse’s aesthetic is so different for my own, but that’s one reason I wanted to do it.”
Tse’s chief executive officer, Christina Peng-Gerschultz, added:
Jason’s complete understanding of this timeless luxury and craftsmanship, which is in the Tse DNA, rendered him the perfect partner.”
The collection will include 15 looks that will become available next July through Tse boutiques, tsecashmere.com and selected stores.
Jason Wu is not the first designer to team up with Tse. He followed in the footsteps of Tess Giberson, Narciso Rodriguez, Victor Alfaro, Hussein Chalayan and Richard Chai.

Who knows, maybe in a few years Jason Wu would be close to well-known and respected brands like Chanel and Dolce&Gabbana, and the whole world will speak about his designs with admiration and recognize them among thousands of others.
Jason keeps on working with dolls which helped him to make his first steps in fashion industry. Now he dresses up dolls chez Colette for $300.
