Wintour Leaves Jason Wu for Roger Federer
June 08, 2009
Vogue's infamous editrix can't seem to kick her Roger Federer habit. The bob has maintained close ties to the tennis star (who won the French Open yesterday) for years, much to the media's delight. Not only has Wintour supposedly had a hand in landing him men's fashion magazine covers, as well as front-row seats to Fashion Week; she rarely misses a major match. Such was the case Saturday when Wintour reportedly left wunderkind fashion designer (and Michelle Obama favorite) Jason Wu's first-ever Resort show four minutes before Wu's models made their way down the catwalk. A Vogue staffer told Fashion Week Daily that, "[Wintour] had a plane to catch. But she saw entire [sic] Jason’s collection earlier and really liked what she was looking at.” Less than 24 hours later, a beaming Wintour was spotted, sunglasses-clad and sitting with boyfriend Shelby Bryan at Federer's title-winning game.
As for Wu’s Resort collection itself, which was staged at Robert DeNiro’s Greenwich Hotel, there were plenty of not-to-be-missed looks. Standout frocks included finely tailored blazers and pantsuits, as well as vibrant and flirty yet structured cocktail dresses boasting similar beading and embroidery details as the designer’s FW09 collection. Also of note: bright coral lips and lack of eye makeup on models. Meaning a recession-induced lipstick index seems to be alive and well in Wu’s vision for pre-Spring.
