Wu Hoo!















"Since he launched his label three years ago, it's seemed as if Jason Wu has been auditioning to replace Oscar de la Renta or Carolina Herrera. He certainly has the immaculate Park Avenue thing down cold, should either of the legends decide to step down." - Style.com, on Jason Wu's spring collection.

The comparisons to Oscar and Carolina are spot-on, but it is all the more meaningful after tonight's inauguration. After much speculation that Michelle would don one of the two go-to designers for uptown girls, she instead went with their Park Ave-worthy predecessor.

I can't wait to see what Obama will do for America, and I certainly can't wait to see what Michelle will do for the American fashion industry.
