“At the time, perhaps Ms. Kauffman didn’t realize she was grooming the young man to become one of the most successful young fashion designers of this decade. Already, at only 29 years old, Wu has established his own eponymous private fashion label; been a finalist in the Council of Fashion Designers in America (CFDA)/Vogue Fashion Fund in 2008; and dressed countless celebrities and starlets for public appearances over the years.”

“It’s worth a visit just for the ‘Karl-isms.’ Karl Lagerfeld’s new Web site, karl.com, devoted mainly to his new masstige collection, includes gems of wisdom and wit from fashion’s consummate overachiever.”
Alexa Chung: the forces that move fashion (Guardian)
“In the print room at Central Saint Martins, it’s as if I’m watching a high-budget dramatisation of how fashion works. To my right, 20-year-old students in top-knots, rubber gloves and Violent Cancer T-shirts hunch over their silk-screens, like Mary Katrantzou did four years earlier. And to my left, the British Fashion Council’s new ‘young style ambassador’, Alexa Chung.”
