My Picks - Proenza Schouler Pre-Fall 15 RTW

With new store openings in the pipeline Proenza Schlouer are quickly expanding. Their Pre Fall collection revisits the fringing and pleating fabrications they developed on their main line.
Silhouettes were lean, comprised of plaid detailing, heavy cable knits and mid calf proportions.

The duo's attention to detail and fabric experimentation always draws me in.
The collection is cool and edgy with American sports reference at the forefront.

My Picks - Proenza Schouler Fall 14 RTW

This collection speaks for itself, its full of energy and vibrance. The complexed fabric development is evident. As always its a collection you automatically want to touch and investigate in real life, or is that just the geek in me? I admire this design duo.

My Picks - Proenza Schouler PF14 RTW

I'm liking the new proportions with that shorter length pant. Proenza's collections are always more impactful in real life because they experiment with fabric and print techniques which are often lost in editorial format. 

So be sure to read the reviews online to hear more about their development of flocking etc.

NEW YORK

I've just returned from a work trip in NY. This is the view from the hotel, I stayed at the Dream, Downtown. Such a perfect location, with the Meat Packing district right on our doorstep.

Loved the Proenza store on Madison Ave, I'm sure the window display was influenced by Damien Hirst. The collection was so well considered, right down to the last button.

I had a great Saturday afternoon spent in Williamsburg, basking in the sun. There was a real buzz. We ate at 'Walters Food', which serves delectable food, washed down with a pomegranate lemonade. I'd also been recommended to visit the boutique, 'Bird' which had such a nice selection of mens and womens wear, as well as accessories. 

I treated us to this A.P.C candle for our new apartment. the scent is very humble. 

Within and surrounding our hotel were bars and clubs. We had a cocktail or two!

My Picks - Proenza Schouler SS14 RTW

I found this collection so hard to edit because the shape, textures and foiling techniques really appeal to my personal aesthetic. I find every season Proenza's attention to detail and finish is even more refined. I definitely wish to buy into this season, there are so many great pieces, and those shoes are simply divine!

Proenza Schouler AW13 Campaign

I'm on a campaign run now, but how could I not share the Proenza Schouler AW13 Campaign. Lensed by David Sims, featuring Sasha Pivovarova. Digitised birds of paradise sit aside gritty fashion imagery softened by serene lighting. 

I wonder if images taken by Leila Jeffreys of wild cockatoos was a point of reference, I for one can see the likeness. 

Check out the full campaign HERE:

My Picks - Proenza Schouler Resort 2014

I definitely felt there was a lightness to this collection, a looser vibe. The Proenza boys have been experimenting with new silhoulettes and pushing luxiourious finishing techniques. Bravo boys, I'd wear every look given the chance!

Into the woods...

 

Check out the T Magazine interview with the Proenza Boys. It's an article I can really relate to, the intensity of City life within the fashion industry. One yearns for a creative space in the country with fresh air not smog lol.

My Picks - Proenza Schouler Fall 13 RTW

The starting point of the collection looked at images that blended the line between artifice and reality.

Artist of reference was John Divola's and his 1970s series of photographs depicting deserted houses.

Proenza Schouler S/S Campaign
