Behind the Collection: Designer Jason Wu and Courtney J. Martin on Collaboration
In early 2025, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation began speaking with designer Jason Wu about the possibility of a Spring 2026 collection inspired by the artist's work. The resulting collection, "Collage," pays homage to Rauschenberg's use of found materials and is imbued with Wu's own unique design sensibilities. "For me, [Rauschenberg's] work is combining disparate things and making it into one cohesive piece of art," the designer noted. "That, to me, is kind of the genius of what he does."
