Design duo Jack McCollough and Lazaro
Hernandaz, better known as Proenza Schouler, unveiled their stunning Fall 2013
ready-to-wear collection late last night. The show was livestreamed in high
definition on their website and allowed fans to sit in the front row along with
fashion A-listers like Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Grace Coddington and Elizabeth
Olsen.
The venue was cold (literally and
figuratively) and industrial looking; the perfect setting for the edgy looks
that were coming down the runway. Veteran model, Sasha Pivovarova opened the
show in a simple, white balloon jacket with oversized buttons-a feature that
was seen throughout the collection and a black pencil skirt with a slit on the
front-another reoccurring detail.
Virtually colourless, but not bleak: black,
white, grey, tan and the occasional pop of hot pink, blue or green were the go
to hues in the collection. Raw-looking,
natural materials such as wool, tweed, feathers, leather, ostrich skin and
metal added texture and interest to the streamlined garments. Models sported
bare faces and undone hair, strutting effortlessly down the concrete runway in
low, platform-less heels. Key pieces were shift dresses, roomy outerwear, A-line
and pencil skirts as well as biker gloves and oversized clutches. Cut-outs on
the backs of dress, sheer fabrics and the occasional cinched waist supplied a
much needed dose of sex appeal to the otherwise modest collection that was quintessentially
Proenza Schouler.
