The Silk Road
It took one dress—a white chiffon gown worn by Michelle Obama at the presidential inauguration—to catapult former Vancouverite Jason Wu's fashion career.
The
same could be so for another Taiwan-born local, Joanna Hu. The
challenge to Kwantlen's fashion design students was to design a dress
that Lara Osen, owner of Misch,
might buy for her boutique. The resulting silk charmeuse dress in
military green so impressed Osen that she's selling that very dress
alongside Alexander Wang and Phillip Lim for spring.
Now that's the power of one.
