Some of the fall looks from the First Lady's inaugural ball gown designer, Jason Wu, are now available in the Triangle. I got a call last night from the owner of Vermillion, Ashley Vermillion Harris, who said the designer is now being carried in the North Hills store.

Wu should likely become a local favorite because of his style of creating clean, classic lines with bright colors, a popular combination in this area. His creations are often described as modern but wearable. Likely he's best known lately, though, for his white, silk-chiffon, one-shoulder gown that Michelle Obama wore to the inaugural balls in January.

Will update more soon on what pieces and styles Vermillion is carrying for fall.
