INDIANAPOLIS - Luxury brand Brizo® faucets first partnered with fashion designer Jason Wu in 2006, with the intent to bridge the gap between home and fashion design.

Now, the two design houses are excited to announce their formal collaboration on an exciting collection of fittings and accessories for the bath to be launched in late 2011.

"Brizo and Jason Wu are both luxury brands that share the same design vision: timeless style that is innovative and fresh," said Brian Nobbe, director of the Brizo brand. "Collaborating with Jason on a bathroom faucet collection further strengthens our position that fashion is about more than just the clothes you wear; it's a lifestyle."

Through their relationship, the brands have demonstrated that high fashion can be achieved at home. Jason Wu has created exclusive fashion designs for Brizo advertising campaigns and events, and his New York residence is outfitted with Brizo Loki® and Pascal® faucets.

"Designing interior fixtures is an opportunity to challenge myself and branch out into a new category," said Jason Wu. "The materials and design considerations are dramatically different than what I am used to with clothing and accessories. This collaboration will require finding a new way to add movement and personality to an otherwise static item."
