Kerry Washington at Jason Wu SS 14 After Party during #NYFW, 9.6.13.
From Vogue:
Fashion heavyweights were out in full force last night to celebrate the spring 2014 shows. Those gathered at the Electric Room to fete Jason Wu’s collection had high praise for the designer: “His brand isn’t based on some artificial idea of an aesthetic. It’s really based on things he loves most about women,” said Kerry Washington. Which perhaps explains why Wu has such appeal. “It’s so special to be able to work with the real women that inspired me to become a fashion designer in the first place,” says Wu. “They’re the women that have true style, a real sense of themselves.” He was referring to women like Maria Sharapova, Lily Kwong, and Liu Wen, who were all in attendance last night, along with Jessica Paré, dressed in head-to-toe Wu (“Every chance I get, baby!” she enthused). In fact, she’s such a fan, that sitting front row at Jason Wu was the first time she’s ever braved Fashion Week. “I was completely overwhelmed!” she laughed. “There’s such an electricity in the air. There’s a real, tangible excitement.” - Vogue.com
From Women’s Wear Daily:
Washington would have to place her order by skimming the looks online as she missed the show.
“I was sequestered with ‘Project Runway.’ I’m on the season finale,” she explained. “And I swear to you, that is the only thing that could have kept me away from a Jason Wu show!” - WWD
