Jason Wu: Are pop art prints back in fashion now?

Many shows have to be moved to the virtual space and great designers like Ralph Lauren or Marc Jacobs are not even involved. Jason Wu kicked off Fashion Week on February 14, 2021 – the perfect gift for Valentine's Day for fashionistas. His designs are not flashy and colorful, but one print stands out in particular.
