Well...

Wu did it. His S/S 2010 collection showed that he can branch out. Playing with color combinations worked (with risky pairings of orange, purple, and red) and the clothes looked, well, wearable.
No, that is not an insult. Wearable in the terms of someone who has style and the confidence to show it.

The makeup was great too. Another take on making the edgy wearable. Strong dark lips were set against a perfect, neutral canvas. Models' hair was pulled back and dyed dark to match their mouths. Love that this winter palate was being used for the Spring.

While we like the crazy stuff, Jason Wu surpassed our expectations with an interesting and accessible collection. The only gripe was the prom-esque (one shouldered) evening wear, and Style.com's picture choice for the man:
