Is Jason Wu The New “It” Bag?

Born in Taiwan, brought up in Vancouver, Jason Wu learned pattern and sewing on dolls.  At age fourteen he goes to Tokyo to study sculpture.  He creates doll clothing as a freelancer by age sixteen.  After finishing high-school in France he follows this stint attending the famed Parsons School of Design in New York.  Not wasting anytime , Jason founds his brand by 2006.  His work is inspired by Jacques Fath’s and Charles James creations and the pictures by Richard Avedon.  Now he is emerging as a new force in accessories and design including his Target collection.  His bags all have a signature, subtle owl theme.  Here are four of my favorites.  Tell us if you give a hoot.  I’m in love with the black and white Melodie bag.  In love with his tote that does everything a tote needs to do including great style with the perfect clasp.
