I like this stuff so far. I think it's important that they develop signatures like the built-in bra/bustier thing they've been doing since the first show. Some may call it repetitive but I think it's smart.

I wonder if they're still going to charge $3000 for a pair of khaki shorts next season.

I really like the two longer dresses, very pretty
don't really care for the bra/bustier thing, especially since they've done it so much - although I suppose I'm biased because I just don't like the look

but so far I like it

Everything just seems really boring lately.

kinda dissapointing from those photos
as everyone already said.....they need to think of something other than that kinda bra top thing.....its not even a signiature look....its exactly the same every season!!

I am in complete agreement with everyone who wants to see the end of those horrid bustier/bra tops they keep doing. Can't they come up with something else? I guess we shouldn't expect too much from two guys who cheated their way through school.

Its Ok. Not floored by them . Some pretty stuff though. I have to go back and see what they did for Fallo4.

Are you making fun of me SG or hadn't you heard that they had someone else make the clothes for their final.

Really? Heh, that explains everything.

this collection is like more prada than prada...it looks like if fall '04 prada was expanded into a spring collection...

i'm personally in love with it...and i think the bra tank is signature piece? i love how they keep moving the line though...this is definitely a departure from that hard fall collection.

I like the flowy, feminine dresses they did...a departure from their previous stuff.

The collection is vapid and ghostlike despite the colors and texture.

review from style.com:

For their fourth collection, Lazaro Hernandez and partner Jack McCollough aimed for "something soft and chic." The show, which featured one model per look, elegantly built upon the duo's strengths, in order to achieve that softness: intricate seaming, strong coats, silk bustiers, virtuoso embellishment. They carried over last season's focus on feathers and metallics, but with a new theme that mixed surf, Arab, and African influences. One characteristically cool outfit paired an embroidered gold tank with khaki cotton shorts, while a mahogany and cream jacquard silk velvet skirt was all sophistication. Intricately embroidered wood-pattern pieces and textural, graphic prints demonstrated Hernandez and McCollough's devotion to—and skill with—the subtle art of surface treatment.

There was strong sportswear aplenty, from a bleached alligator coat to a printed lamé jacket, and sharp trousers were shown alongside shorts and pencil skirts—all in a twisted palette that successfully combined mint, lilac, brown, khaki, and white. It was perfectly framed by some mean metallic shoes and supported by a soundtrack that mixed the Beach Boys, Magnetic Fields, and Davie Allan. The finale—Hana Soukupova, Gemma Ward, and Daria Werbowy parading by in floaty, patterned dresses worn over those signature bodysuits—summed up both the skill and the feeling Proenza Schouler has managed to distill in just four seasons.
