Jason Wu‘s designs are the perfect combination between feminine and futuristic so it might be surprising to know that the inspiration for this project was a plain grey t-shirt, which the designer handed over to Pantone while developing the shade.
“To work with the Pantone Color Institute was an eye-opening experience. The kind of technology and craft that goes into the creation of color is incredible,” explains Jason Wu.
GREY, besides being the name of this tone, is also the name of the pop-up store the designer opened during New York Fashion Week. The color is everywhere, even in the smallest details, like the cafe, packed with ear grey tea. The intention was to achieve a warm and inviting space, to contrast with the cold meaning people usually give to this particular color.
The store features a wall covered in grey Moleskine notebooks where people can leave their messages and a listening booth with music by Sebastien Perrin, specially curated for this space.
The items in the store were all custom made in GREY and include Moleskine notebooks, Sharpies, nail polish and water bottles.
Unfortunately, the store was opened only for a limited period of time, but you can still check out his website to know more about this capsule collection.
