Here's a runway shot of one of the dresses from Jason Wu's fall collection now available at Vermillion at North Hills. Strong shoulders, nice curves!

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.

Maybe not just yet. But it's safe to say that Raleigh is going to Jason Wu.

The buying team at Vermillion clothing boutique in North Hills plans to check out Wu's showroom during an upcoming buying trip to New York. And if all goes well, we might see Wu's collection in the store this fall.

The 26-year-old Taiwanese-designer has been somewhat of an overnight fashion celebrity after Michelle Obama wore his white Grecian-style gown to the Inaugural balls in Washington.

Vermillion would be a fitting store to carry the line in the area. The boutique is one of several in the Triangle known for carrying big-name and up-and-coming designers, including Stella McCartney, Derek Lam and Lanvin.

Want to know what happens when the nation's new First Lady picks a virtually unknown fashion designer to create her Inaugural gown?

His Web site gets unprecedented hits. Like, millions of them.

Yep. Jason Wu's site, jasonwustudio.com received more than 4 million hits in the wake of Michelle Obama wearing his gown Tuesday night, according to Fashion Week Daily.

And you can hand it to Wu. He's got class (or at least a legal agreement). He doesn't plan to reproduce Obama's custom white gown, according to the article from FWD.

While Wu isn't sold locally, you can find him online at Bergdorf Goodman, among other stores.
