Jason Wu is a leading global design talent based in New York City. Through merging classic American sportswear elements with a refined couture sensibility, he has created an internationally recognized brand in just 10 years. Since debuting his Ready-to-Wear collection in 2007, Jason has been dedicated to making clothes that are beautifully crafted from the inside out. With a focus on exquisite quality and traditional craftsmanship, much of Wus collection is manufactured in New York using custom developed fabrics from the finest mills in France and Italy As a child, Jason began using dolls as mannequins to learn how to sew after his mother bought his first sewing machine. The miniaturized scale of the mannequins trained him to be in tune with every minute detail of his designs. Although only 35, the precocious designer has already achieved many of his aspirations. His collection is sold globally and he dresses some of the most influential women in the world including First Lady Michelle Obama, Reese Witherspoon, Julianne Moore, Diane Kruger, Liu Wen and Christy Turlington, amongst many others. Jason has received many accolades, including being named one of the finalists in the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund in July 2008. In June 2010 he won the Swarovski Award for Womenswear at the CFDA Fashion Awards and in April 2011 he was nominated for the CFDA/Swarovski Award for Accessory Design. Jason served as Artistic Director of Hugo Boss womenswear Ready to Wear and Accessory collection for five years. More recently, Jason was honored with the Fashion Star Award at The Fashion Group International Night of Stars 2015, and won the 2016 International Designer of Year at the Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards.

As the supply of base materials, like petroleum, which are fundamental in the manufacture of synthetic materials, including polyester, continues to diminish, the world is facing a growing concern: continued growth and improvement of quality of life with limited access to key resources that are non-renewable, as well as harmful to the global environment. By working with plant based fibrous materials, our scientists and engineers are creating new opportunities to enhance and leverage the most plentiful and renewable resources on the planet for applications traditionally associated with synthetic products. It is our continued goal to develop solutions that can be implemented by communities across the economic spectrum using the most abundant local resources to create sustainable, scalable products that minimize processing and cost while improving quality and usability. We are built on a culture of open, agile exploration that enables our team of experts to aggressively pursue answers to the most complicated applications of naturally occurring fibrous materials. Whether it`s enhancing cotton to behave more like polyester with added anti-microbial properties for clinical use or strengthening and treating hemp to be used as a durable, low-cost building material, we are able to offer our partners and clients fully tested, nuanced solutions that are the key to improving quality of life for people around the world while reducing stresses on our environment.
