Sarah Bailey, Deputy Editor of Harpers Bazaar with the understated and very charming Jason Wu. His collection is lovely and he sold so many pieces that he had to go back to his hotel to find more dresses for the window. Jason is chatty and delightful – you want to listen to all his stories and he makes you feel like a long lost friend. He chats about baking macaroons and eating waffles with milk chocolate with whipped cream (They are sold outside Bond Street station.)
When I asked Jason about his favourite dress he said they are like his children he loves them all and can’t choose just one!! He was inspired by Tim Burton’s films and he loves The Nightmare Before Christmas. You can see it in the stitching of some of his dresses!
Jason is also Canadian and so far he’s most famous for the dress Michelle Obama wore to the inaugural ball!

I love when a celebrity or public figure wears a hidden gem. It’s so easy to play it safe and chose a well known designer. I think you have to have true style and confidence to wear something just because you like it, and I think it’s great because naturally I want all the small designers I know to become big designers.
Michelle Obama has been wearing everyone from Michael Kors to Jason Wu (he designed her inaugural gown – he’s only 26 and had no idea Mrs. Obama was going to wear the gown until he saw it on TV) and now Pieter Erasmus’ necklace!
Pieter Erasmus is the designer behind ST•ERASMUS. He has cultivated a style which combines traditional techniques with contemporary forms and materials. His designs are steeped in cross-cultural inspiration, an african-european fusion. Pieter has designed jewellery for Givenchy, Matthew Williamson and Roberto Cavalli. I really like his braclets as they have a vintage inspiration but also feel very modern.
