New York Fashion Week: Jason Wu

For this collection, Jason Wu went back to his childhood Taiwan with his dad to come up with three answers to the question, “What is Chinese?” The answers were military China, historical China of the Qing Dynasty, and the “inauthentic” thirties and forties Hollywood version of China.
