Only two more days until Jason Wu for Target launches to the public! A few lucky ones were able to catch a glimpse of the collection beforehand at a private launch event on January 26th in New York City. The luckiest one of all though was DJ Harley Viera-Newton. Prior the event, she was personally styled by the man of the night in a peach shirt-dress that Jason describes as “fun, chic and feminine.” Harley “[loved] the color and the peter-pan collar” of the dress and said, “It’s very my style.”

Aside from styling, the 29-year-old Taiwanese American designer kept himself busy to prep for the whole event. “I’ll work right until the last minute, and probably get ready in five minutes. It’s all about being a good host. I think it will be a lot of fun – I’m excited!” says Jason.

With DJ Harley Viera-Newton as the spinner of the night, the launch party welcomed Blake Lively, Chloe Moretz, Jamie King and Emmy Rossum among others. Featuring many polka-dotted prints and delicate designs, it was hard for Jason to pick a favorite, but he said it would be the black trench with the lace. Which one’s your favorite? Catch a sneak peek here.
