Jason Wu will design a limited edition capsule collection in partnership with Tse for fall 2010. The line—15 pieces for women—will debut during New York fashion week next February.
"In many ways I'm probably the last expected designer to do this, because Tse's aesthetic is so different from my own, but that's the reason I wanted to do it," explained Wu. For the colletion, he plans to combine woven and knitwear and introduce the cashmere label to color and pattern. Tse's CEO Christina Peng-Gerschultz hopes it will be an ongoing collaboration.
Wu's second creative outlet—cooking—also has him in the spotlight, having recently shot a story for Food & Wine magazine with François Payard teaching the young designer how to make the perfect macarons. “They heard that I’d been wanting to perfect it for a long time and they said, ‘How would you like him to teach you how to make it?’ And of course, I’m not going to turn that down.”

Matthew Williamson debuted his first accessory collection in collaboration with Atelier Swarovski on the runway for spring 2010.
Williamson's inspiration for the crystal cuffs, breastplate necklaces, and evening clutches was drawn from the artist Jim Lambie, who is best know for arranging brightly colored tape into geometric patterns. As a result the accessory collection consists of vibrantly colored, oversized graphic pieces—much in line with Williamson's signature aesthetic.
For the spring collections Atelier Swarovski also worked with Zaha Hadid (zigzag-shaped rings), Jason Wu (sculptural necklaces) and Nicholas Kirkwood to create exclusive crystal jewelry and accessories. Past designer collaborations have included Christopher Kane, Doo.Ri Chung, Hussein Chalayan, Giles Deacon, Proenza Schouler, Rodarte, and Philip Crangi.
