Influenced by the classic photography of Richard Avedon and the works of Charles James and Jacques Fath, designer Jason Wu aims to revitalize the art and perfection of dressing with a relaxed and youthful attitude. He studied sculpture in Tokyo, but spent his senior year of high school in Paris, where he was inspired to become a fashion designer. In 2006 Wu debuted his signature collection and in 2010 won the CFDA Swarovski Award for Womenswear.
