Wu showed jewel-coloured cocktail dresses, hand-painted in gold, and extravagant ball-gowns, embellished with peacock and ostrich feathers or printed with dandelion and foxglove patterns.
Wu based his delicate, feminine collection on the ixonic 1950's fashion photographs of Irving Penn. His daywear, slouchy and man-tailored, in heather and charcoal shades, was inspired by the photographer's own wardrobe.
The 26 year old designer was catapulted to overnight fame last year when Mrs Obama chose his white, ruffled evening gown for the Inaugural Balls.
Fashion Week this season is continuing in subdued mode as the international fashion community tries to come to terms with the tragic death of the British designer, Alexander McQueen.
