CND and Jason Wu – a collection to die for


In some pretty damn exciting news for fans of fashion and beauty, it has just been announced that fashion superstar designer Jason Wu is collaborating with runway manicure leader CND to introduce a limited edition Jason Wu Collection that honours iconic women with a range of wearable, timeless shades. One of the new breed of Hot Young Things alongside the likes of Alexander Wang, Wu is a favourite of Anna Wintour’s (pictured with the designer, here) and a master of the modern neutral. The set he has created with CND will come with four Colours and one Effect that can be layered to achieve some very wearable, effortlessly elegant nail looks. "Every season I play with different ways of using colour in my collection,” said Wu at the launch of the collaboration in New York, “so it was a natural choice to collaborate with CND on a capsule of nail colours that reflects my aesthetics.” Jason and CND have joined forces on the runway for the past eight seasons, and the colour collection marks Wu's first foray into nail products, and CND's first designer product partnership. The full collection will be introduced at the designer’s Spring 2011 runway show, where audience members will receive a complimentary set.
The fabulously femme colours on offer are:
Miss Wu - Jason's signature limestone, warm gray that dries matte with a subtle chrome sheen.
Brigitte – a voluptuous warm pink that perfectly channels the French screen siren, Ms. Bardot
Sophia – a gorgeous mushroom taupe named after Italian superstar Sophia Loren
Veronica – a totally decadant, blue-based, oxblood red that channels the iconic Veronica Lake
Anna Effect - layered over any of the four colours, this effect named after Ms. Wintour provides a tweed finish via microscopic fibrous pieces that create cool, subtle texture.
The Jason Wu Collection will be available for purchase in salons and via CND.com in May 2011.
