With Lucy Liu serving as the event’s fashionable host, guests including celeb-stylist Rachel Zoe, January Jones, Kate Mara and China Chow filed into Satine boutique in West Hollywood to check out the designer’s MySpace Fashion Trunk Show and Spring Collection Preview. “I love his dresses,” said January, “because they’re tailored and polished.” The Mad Men actress also appreciates Wu’s chic yet comfortable attitude toward dressing the female form. “This dress doesn’t have a corset built into it,” she said of her form-fitting frock. “I’d rather have a belly than a corset!” For the evening’s hostess, it was all about one special item. “My favorite look is the citron embroidered dot dress from the spring collection,” said Lucy. “I think the material and colors are unique and feminine — like most of Jason’s collection.” And while Wu may have a star following that includes A-listers like Lu and Charlize Theron, the designer also takes inspiration from the industry’s up-and-comers. “I love working with young actresses who are just on the verge,” he explains. “It’s always good to have a muse.” Click here to see more from Jason’s the MySpace event and here to see his MySpace profile.
