Jason Wu Conquers Eyewear

By Eva Medoff, May 21st, 2010

The socialites were out in full force last night to celebrate Jason Wu’s first ever sunglasses and optical collection. We headed over to Soho’s super-luxe eyewear hub ILORI to gaze at the luminous shades in their appropriately backlit perches in the store’s chic display. With a decidedly 50s starlet vibe, the glasses, made in collaboration with Modo, would look right at home with Wu’s girly frocks. Amidst a sea of mirrors and lights, editors, models and socials from Hamish Bowles to Alana Zimmer and Catherine McNeil (pictures of the party-goers, as well as the glasses, after the jump) sipped some bubbly and admired the wares. We even got to say hello to Wu himself— briefly. The man was in high demand.
