What I've always liked about Adrian Wu, besides his artistry and element of surprise, is that in his show description booklet, he always lists his models by name and gives credit to his team. This time, his musicians, Caitlin Comeau Jarvis and Patrick Dilkie, were recognized for their tributes to Ella Fitzgerald, Glen Miller and Nat King Cole. This music provided a serene and nostalgic setting for the startling 50's styled polyurethane art works that one might see on a movie set or in store windows. Is this the aftermath of a nuclear meltdown or designs for floating in space or on the ocean floor? The dresses, in metallic looking red, black, grey, and gold were molded to the figure, open at the back (would they stay on?) and made sounds as they moved with the models down the runway. The dark 'up-do' hair styles, heavy black framed glasses and bright red lips were yet another nod to the structured, formal 50's. Great fashion always reflects the past, shows us the now and reaches to what might be. These designs are all of that!
