Behind the Scenes: George Wu Collection @ his studio

George Wu pairs his high attention to detail, form fitting shapes with his aesthetic for a mix of heavy and light, light and shade, good and bad, harsh and soft, feminine and masculine. 
Since launching his label in Australia in 2005, George Wu has firmly established himself in Australia’s fashion industry, with collections showcased at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival–Brisbane, L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival, G’day USA in New York City, and the prestigious Rosemount Sydney Australian Fashion Week. 

George Wu has grown a celebrity following with Angelina Jolie, Cat Deeley, Kristy Hinze, Kate Miller-Hidke and Jessica Marais among those who have worn his designs.

With a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in Fashion Design from Queensland University of Technology and an Advanced Diploma in Fashion Design from MSIT TAFE, George Wu has created a label known for the way each piece is cut, structured and finished.

 George Wu remains personally involved in the entire creative process including design, pattern cutting, sewing, hand-beading, finishing and fitting, to ensure every piece is a work of art.

As his signature style continues to evolve, it is his use of luxury textiles, combined with his unique cut and innovation that cements GEORGE WU as a force in the Australian fashion industry.

George tells me that his favourite design of the collection is the pink silk jumpuit with black lace bodice. I actually don't know what me favourite piece is and I'd love to get the chance to wear any of them. 

As a loved friend of mine, George lets me tinker around his workshop as he madly hand sews the finishing touches onto his very latest collection which showed last night at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane.
