PROENZA SCHOULER

“Contrasts” always plays a central role in the work of Proenza Schouler. Elements associated with the world of couture are subverted with elements of street. Tailored wools of a more masculine nature are contradicted with elements of frivolous femininity. Swarovski crystals have generously assisted in supplying rich stones that will be the focus of one end of this spectrum. The undeniable luster and shine of this important element will help define the opaqueness and density of the raw felted wool in a way that could only be achieved through contrast. Swarovski crystals have added an additional layer of richness and complexity to the seasons work. In general however, the complexity of inspiration and materials, reveals itself only in the complexity of construction, undermining the collection’s quiet, chic and restrained mood.
