Starting June 15, Jason Wu will assume the role of artistic director for Boss womenswear. According to a statement that the German label released this morning, Wu, who noted that he plans to “develop a strong feminine womenswear collection that reciprocates the brand’s authority in menswear,” will present his first effort for the Pre-Fall ’13 season. The 30-year-old’s debut runway show for the label will be held in New York this coming February, when he will unveil the Fall ’14 range. In addition to presiding over the design team at Hugo Boss’s headquarters in Germany, Wu will open a design studio here in New York and will be responsible for the direction of all “product- and image-related aspects” of Boss’s women’s ready-to-wear and accessories ranges. Naturally, Wu will continue to work on his growing eponymous line, which, having been launched in 2007, is currently sold in thirty-nine countries across the globe.
