The epitome of cool, Jason Wu’s collection immediately caught my attention with the beginning of the show. Eastern drums began pounding, big red doors slowly opened as fog erupted onto the runway.

Tribal music began playing, as refined, edgy, bad-ass outfits stomped their way down the runway. Inspired by East Asian Civilizations, the consistent motif created an entirely fierce collection.

Although I was not as impressed by Wu’s typically gorgeous and drool-worthy gowns, He did an incredible job with designing jackets and pantsuits.

Here are my favorite looks from the collection:
