I love the idea of working with women because I always feel like a man designing womenswear needs women around him to really have a sense of what they're doing.

More quotes by Jason Wu
I hope I am the antithesis of disposable fashion.
Jason Wu
My parents are very comfortable with the way that I am, and I think they've always been. Without that, I don't think that I would have ever have been able to grow into the person that I am today. I never felt like I was hiding anything from them.
Jason Wu
The polishedness and the sophistication were what I was interested in. I mean, give me a polka dot, a floral print, a pleated dress, a big fur coat, that was always my language, and it wasn't very in when I was starting out, so I had a difficult time in the beginning.
Jason Wu
The way my mom dressed was one of my earliest inspirations, in those '80s suits with shoulder pads and things like that. For years, I ran away from that style. But now, all I want to do is shoulder pads and nipped-in waists and padded hips and peplums and poufed dresses.
Jason Wu
I hope being gay isn't the most interesting thing about me.
Jason Wu
Designers have always shown outlandish and exuberant clothes, but that hasnt always translated to the streets.
Jason Wu
I didn't understand anything about fashion until I moved to Canada when I was 9. That's when I learned English and was exposed to fashion magazines like Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue.
Jason Wu
For a while, I just thought that I wanted to be an illustrator because that's all I wanted to do. I also did some sculpting. It was always very artsy and very feminine, everything that I did.
Jason Wu
We all want to be a little glamorous, a little playful and a little mischievous at times.
Jason Wu
I am an Asian designer. I was born in Taiwan. That is who I am. But I am a designer, like any designer of any race. Growing up in the '80s in Taiwan, the arts were not considered a career.
Jason Wu
I don't know if I would want to come back as anything but me. I feel really satisfied. I don't really want to be anyone else. I just feel like I've gotten everything I signed up for as me. I'm happy as me.
Jason Wu
I would love to take an old space and restore it to exactly the way I want it. Like an old factory, just something with great bones and lots of character. I'd take an old house and flip it into something very modern inside, or the other way around.
Jason Wu
My mom used to take me to antique shows, which I hated because everything was so dusty and old and there were all these weird ladies selling their antiques. We call them eclectic now. But it was really amazing that I was exposed to that when I was younger. Now that I have my own taste, I understand it more.
Jason Wu
This is the hardest thing I've ever done, being in fashion business, because that's what it is at the end of the day, a business, and you have to make sure it works.
Jason Wu
The worst thing is to be a designer and create work that isn't honest. You have to be honest. Otherwise, you'll always be a reaction to what other people do and you'll always be one step behind.
Jason Wu
Buy things you truly love, things that are special, but not a lot of them. It’s about value, not quantity.
Jason Wu
I always have the TV on. When there's no TV, I play music. I like having noise. I think that's why New York is so suitable for me, because it's never really fully quiet.
Jason Wu
I love the romance of Paris. I love Angelina [tearoom and pastry shop]. I always get a Mont-blanc [pastry] there.
Jason Wu
I had a hard time in middle school. I was never really quite me until I was 16 or 17, and things like bullying didn't matter anymore.
Jason Wu
Anyone who knows me knows that I don't know anything about politics. Every time I go to Washington, I feel like I'm in Legally Blonde.
