Mr. Wu showed his Spring Ready-to-Wear line at NYFW, and like any devoted fan would, I refreshed Style.com every hour until they posted the pictures from his show. Because, as you all are well aware, I'm a nobody and will never be enough of a somebody to merit an invitation to such an event, so I much satisfy my fashion cravings via the all-knowing interwebs.

I've blogged Mr. Wu's three previous collections (Pre-Fall 2011, Fall 2011, Resort 2012), and if I'm being honest this one if probably my least favorite out of the 4. That's not to say I don't like it, but it doesn't make me say...
OHMYGOSHILOVETHATIWANTITANDINEEDITLOVELOVELOVEFREAKINGGORGEOUS!!
... like his other collections have.
Probably the main reason I'm not totally in love is the liberal use of granny panties, of which there are 5. That's 5 too many granny panties for me. Also, I really don't like the styling, which I know has nothing to do with the clothes themselves, but still... it's just distracting. I really hate that orange lip stick they're all wearing, and what's on the back of their heads?
Like I said, though, I'm definitely not saying I don't like the collection overall. Take away the granny panties and funky lip color and there's some really great stuff going on here. That black and white floral print is pretty gorgeous, but even more so in the blue. I really like the peachy-pink color he used some at the beginning, but definitely do not like the pink he used at the end. There's a couple pieces in there that are pretty unflattering, but mostly there are lots of clean, elegant silhouettes.
My favorite part is that so many pieces from this show are actually wearable. So often you see "ready to wear" shows that look like couture shows, with ridiculously outrageous color and silhouettes that no one would really ever wear. And while a lot of the pieces from this collection are a little more fancy than most people probably have use for, there are still a number of pieces that could be incorporated into an everyday wardrobe.
