I'm back in the saddle so to speak and one of the first things on my agenda was a teleconference with my friends at Brizo.  They're at it again, being brilliant and innovative.  As you may know from my previous posts, Brizo has a unique relationship with fashion designer Jason Wu. In fact they have been collaborating for five years.  Jason, who designed Michele Obama’s inauguration gown, has designed dresses for their ad campaigns and promotional accessories over the years.  Today they are unveiling a new faucet and accessory collection designed by Jason.  The collaboration has come full circle and as a proud alumnus of the famed ;) Blogger 19 I’ve got the low down.

The new collection is targeting the Powder Room.  The faucet, dubbed Odin for the Norse god of wisdom and magic, is sleek and sexy.  It comes in matte black only.  The curve of the spout is a signature detail for Jason Wu as is the tiny owl motif you can find on the tip of the handle.  There are a couple other things that make this fabulous faucet unique.  It has an LED light at the base which indicates hot and cold and is the first Brizo product to feature Smart Touch Plus with a proximity sensor.  That means you don’t even have to touch it.  Just like magic! Another first is the impressive line of accessories that go with the faucet and were inspired by Jason’s recent Fall 2011 collection which was in turn inspired by ornate detailing he viewed on a trip to Versailles Palace in France.  I love that you can see the line of the Baroque flower yet it’s still simple and striking paired with either polished chrome or brushed nickel.The line is available for pre-order through February 20,2012 for delivery in April.  Pre orders receive a signed, numbered Jason Wu lithograph and limited edition key chain within ten days (just to hold you over till April).  The faucet retails for $799.  Hey, I don’t think know you can even buy a Jason Wu dress for that much!
