I could attempt to describe–in a single blog post–Jason Wu’s SS 12 runway show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week on Friday.

But I’m certain I’d fail miserably at it.

The new-school designer had my rapt attention with stunning, flirty silhouettes, surprise pops of color, playful prints and collared looks. The list could go on and on…

Check out the full runway show for a look inside the collection, which the designer tells Style.com was a tribute to the “Park Avenue princess gone bad.”

60’s and 90’s pop art inspired makeup artist Diane Kendal’s for the collection. Get the look with M.A.C Lip Pencil in Redd, fill in with M.A.C Lipstick in Scarlet, then pat M.A.C Neo-Orange Pigment on top for a punchy brightening effect. For nails, use two coats of OPI’s Monsooner or Later.
