New York Fashion Week: Proenza Schouler

For Spring 2009, Proenza Schouler has decided to go for a much tougher look. Their collection is very reminiscent of the 1980's and includes everything from big shoulders and high-waisted pants to parachute silks and jumpsuits. Behind Proenza Schouler is the design-duo, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez. Last year they sold a portion of their company to the Valentino Group and it showed with their new collection of accessories that included round sunglasses and 'fuzzy bedroom slippers' in the form and heels. Their models strutted down the runway wearing blouses and coats with cape-like sleeves, jumpsuits for day that were worn belted over sheer, sleeveless button-down, and jumpsuits for night that had a variety of silver and black white bugle beads stitched into them.
