Jason Wu's plans to launch a fur collection have already been halted reportsWWD.
The overnight fame has made him shift gears slightly. Wu was scheduled to launch a fur collection with Sara Furs for fall but, according to him, it's been put on the back burner until further notice.
"As a result of increased interest and demand from our global retailers, we've decided to put our fur license on hold and concentrate on our growing ready-to-wear business," Wu said.
It's a smart move by Wu to postpone a fur collection. He has received tons of positive press from designing Michelle Obama's inaugural ballgown. He was already starting to get some negative feedback in blogs and on social networks for his fur plans and probably would have received more if had proceeding with the fur line. The Human Society is thrilled Wu postponed his fur plans - they "hope he will adopt a permanent fur-free policy."
