Jason Wu has expanded his fashion empire to feature handbags, sunglasses, and shoes. The American designer showcased the goods from his first accessories line at his New York Fashion Week show on Friday night.
The purses seem influenced by the golden age of Hollywood. There’s definitely a 1940s feel to the bags which include a traditional tote, elegant clutch, and vintage inspired Miss Wu shoulder bag with a polished nickel frame. And just who is Miss Wu? She’s the owl which serves as the brand’s mascot!
The handbags hearken back to a bygone era, but the colors are very of the moment. Look out for the Jason Wu bags in nude, luggage brown, and navy hues.
“They have an air of old world glamour but with updated, ease of a modern woman,” Jason Wu said of his line.
The Jason Wu bags will be priced between $995 and $1995. That’s relatively high, but certainly not unheard of for designer goods. They’ll hit stores in January 2011. Will you be first in line to get one?
