Jason Wu S\/S 2022\u2032. Edits by Shelton Boyd-Griffith.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If Daphne Bridgerton were a 21st-century duchess, Jason Wu would most certainly be her modiste of choice. The designer, who launched his career dressing Michelle Obama for the Inaugural Ball (twice!), knows a thing or two about glamorous affairs and is exactly who a debutante-turned-royal needs on speed-dial. (Madame Delacroix who?) The pleasure of following someone as gifted and prolific as Wu is like bingeing on season after season of a Netflix Top 10: recurring themes, favorite characters brought back to life, a familiarity that breeds comfort rather than contempt.<\/p>\n

Wu’s Spring\/Summer 2022 collection, titled \u201cReverie,\u201d was about going back to his roots. Heaps of greenery and blossoms decorated the runway as florals, of the Monet-at-Giverny variety, dominated the collection. They were scattered over garden-party frocks or splashed onto a simple tee. While Wu has dabbled in florals for previous collections, these felt less studied and more libertine\u2026 wildflowers picked in a meadow instead of cultivated, hothouse dahlias. Appliqu\u00e9s that looked like mafaldine pasta on sheer silk were floral-adjacent for those who prefer their blooms in a vase.<\/p>\n

Wu recently told Grazia<\/em><\/a> how the pandemic taught him \u201chow to do more with less,\u201d as well as find inspiration in new, and sometimes unlikely, sources. Natural dye artisan Cara Marie Piazza was one of them. Wu found her on Instagram and Piazza\u2019s textiles, dyed naturally with botanicals and other non-toxic materials, were dreamy on Wu\u2019s ball-ready dresses and languidly tailored separates. Hand washing gave fabrics like silk habotai, memory cotton and performance taffeta an intimate ease. Not having to worry about crinkling a gown \u2014 since it\u2019s part of the design \u2014 is as wearable as it gets.<\/p>\n

What Wu has consistently done best is showcase femininity. This season, he reworked several of his preferred silhouettes. There were shimmery slip dresses, babydoll shapes, the aforementioned duchess gowns with dramatic off-the-shoulder sleeves as well as short suitings that were almost practical. It\u2019s a reminder that Wu has a fanbase that spans generations, from First Ladies to starlets like Madelaine Petsch and Lucy Hale, who were front and center at his show. You may have already lived through \u2014 and sworn off \u2014 bubble skirts in the aughties (yes, there were a few in Wu\u2019s collection), but your 20-something niece hasn’t. Besides, there\u2019s a minimal slip dress in a soft, neutral knit that’s speaking to you…<\/p>\n

When asked what his goal was as a designer, Wu said, \u201cTo make everyone woman feel like the best version of themselves.\u201d Achievement unlocked with this simply pretty and not-just-for-royals collection.<\/p>\n
