After telling the Cut at his spring 2013 show, “I wanted to introduce the element of sex and provocation that you see in Helmut Newton photography … the element of sex has become very important to me, and I think it goes to show the grown-up version of the Jason Wu woman,” it’s only fitting that the designer cast 44-year-old Stephanie Seymour in his new campaign. Photographed by Inez & Vinoodh at La Grenouille, Seymour told WWD, Wu “looks like a 20-year-old FIT student, but has the skill of a great couturier of the past” — that’s old enough to buy cigarettes and porn! To be honest, I feel sort of cringe-y about all of this because I’ve seen Seymour’s boobs more times than I’ve seen my own, but she looks nice here.
