Proenza Schouler Resort 2012

Proenza Schouler's Resort 2012 collection saw a continuation of the '70s Western look they presented for Fall — albeit with a more Spring-like vibe. Wavy, patchwork colorblocking in earthy hues decorated boxy jackets and sheath dresses. Large, box-pleat pockets adorned mini skirts, a graphic marble print accented dresses and blouses, and wide, black leather binding added contrast throughout.

NEW YORK, June 13, 2011
By Nicole Phelps
Look around at the collections this month and you see a lot of Proenza Schouler-isms. If you recall, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez did tribal for pre-fall; half a year later, other designers are falling into line with ikats and ethnic embroideries. In fact, McCollough and Hernandez did a little riffling through the back catalog themselves, redoing the sold-out Baja jacket from last year's Resort line in a ropey yarn. They've definitely found a groove, delving into traditional textiles like last season's Navajo blankets and coming up with something hip and young, and yet quite couture in terms of the work involved.

For the collection they showed in their newly expanded showroom on Monday—all of those PS1 and PS11 bags take up a lot of space—they found a new vantage point, trading in the Santa Fe of their Fall collection for San Francisco circa the late sixties. Their new SF informed the earthy, mineral-y color palette, the swirling (just a shade shy of psychedelic) marble prints, and the patchworking, but the silhouette is pure Proenza Schouler—a cropped jacket over a buttoned-to-the-collar poplin shirt and a miniskirt that reads as shorts; a short apron dress with leather straps; a cardigan that skims the hem of a canvas smock. There was a lot of leg on display, the better to show off precipitously chic wedge sandals.

Accessories are no small part of Proenza's success, and the designers have duly paid a lot of attention to this season's PS1 bags; the ticking stripe trimmed in python looks destined to be a success. As for the handcrafted necklaces Jack and Lazaro made in collaboration with Alex of Alex & Lee fame (art jewelers who were big in the seventies and have enjoyed several fashion world revivals since), they were fabulous, and, because they will be produced in limited quantities, they'll be instant collector's items.

I love how they take colors I wouldn't expect to like together and somehow make them work.

This is one of the more interesting resort shows, even though it looks like pre-fall.

 

[disco54]

This is what Celine should have looked like , easily one of the best resorts 10/10 , I just wish there were more pants!

 

[mechellemybell]

Interesting. I like the rich colors.

 

[hautechild]

The colours are very autumnal, but absolutely gorgeous. Like this collection a lot.

 

[ultramarine]

Eeek! Most of those colours wont work on any skin tone. (me included)

 

[Ives927]

^ Really? I think the colors are really rich and can suit many skin tones. I can see girls from fair skin tones to darker skin tones wearing the deep maroons, army greens and oranges. They should have included girls like Ajak into the presentation, it would have shown how flattering the warm hues can be.

[Psylocke]

I'm so in love with this collection, which is weird because I would normally hate these colors. But I'm in awe of how beautiful everything looks. So gorgeous. I wish there were more looks.

while the autumnal hues may throw some off, proenza schouler -- much like christopher bailey at burberry -- recognizes that in the crazy backward fashion cycle that these clothes will trickle into stores right when the leaves start turning in earnest. and seeing as the proenza schouler girl isn't necessarily the type of girl to camp out in palm beach for december, these hues will look just fine as she's stomping though the streets in the 6th arrondissement or private jet hopping between moscow and london.
