  • 出處頁皆為書目紀錄頁(全文留原站),傳記事實以上列 tah-tables、Timeline 與 Family(父吳昆民、母陳美雲)為準——無新事實。

Role in the Community

  • 本會媒體的社群報導(TAHS/TaiwaneseAmerican.org 语料庫):2013-03-26 本會以社群史記(A 級)報導他於舊金山市政廳(San Francisco Opera Guild 與 Neiman Marcus–Union Square 合辦)的時裝走秀,並由本會創辦人蔡和杰(Ho Chie Tsai,見 Ho Chie Tsai)陪同採訪——本運動把台灣裔設計師的成功視為「非傳統領域的亞裔美國成功故事」而主動記錄。見 TAO:Fashion Trending with Designer Jason Wu(2013-03-26)。
  • 本會亦留存其 2012-02-11「Jason Wu for Target」平價限定系列上市的書目記錄(B 級):TAO:Jason Wu for Target Collection Debuts——與上述報導相互印證他「讓時尚走向一般消費者」的取向。
  • 同屬本會媒體的系列報導:2013-03-21 本會先行刊出他新系列發表的報導(B 級):TAO:Fashion Designer Jason Wu Showcases New Collection(2013-03-21),五日後(3-26)再以社群史記報導舊金山走秀實況——兩則同週刊出,顯示本會把他當時的新系列發表視為一組連續的社群事件來追蹤。
  • 上述報導補充的成长背景(本會語料所載,非 TAH Who’s Who):9 歲隨雙親移居加拿大溫哥華,以娃娃為模特兒學縫製、打版與時裝比例素描;14 歲赴日本東京學習雕塑;高中最後一年在法國巴黎就讀時立志成為時裝設計師,之後赴美進入 Parsons。報導並稱之為「New York-based Taiwanese Canadian designer」。HOLD: 本會語料稱其 9 歲移居溫哥華,TAH Who’s Who 只載出生地台北,兩者未合載同一遷移年,不予自動併入 Timeline。
  • 語料庫另有 #225 之第二則書目記錄(title「225. Jason Wu 吳季剛」,Era 2019):[[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/53226|TAH #225 另一記錄頁]],與上方 mystories225 同號重複,未新增事實。
  • HOLD: 語料庫中另有同名「Jason Wu」——迦南教會教友,對台灣會館(San Jose,2009 年租下二樓 8400 平方呎)不計成本提供裝修(見 Our Journeys 53 及 Our Journeys 53 (EN))。該社群事蹟是否即本頁時裝設計師吳季剛,語料未載身份細節,不予合併。
  • 2026-10-11 覆核:以「吳季剛/Jason Wu/吳昆民/陳美雲」全語料五目錄重掃,除本頁已載出處與上述 ourjourneys53 同名者外無新社群事蹟;taiwanjustice-net 數則檢索命中為「雨季剛過」之斷字假性匹配(非人名),非關本頁。
