Proenza Schouler Pre-Fall 2014

Referencing interior design trends of the West Coast, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler explore complex fabrics with an earthy, natural color palette for Pre-Fall 2014. In previous seasons, Jack and Laz have cited western American influences in their collections and this one, while not overtly "western" per se (think derby hats and fringes), still manages to tap into a certain desert-like sensibility by the generous contrast of blacks, off-whites, and burnt oranges.

All the while, it maintains fall’s sartorial callings (we're thinking of the WOOL CASHMERE SINGLE BUTTON PEACOAT and the CASHMERE CABLE KNIT V-NECK SWEATER, in particular), perfect for layering. Removed of the aforementioned cultural symbolism, the collection is best described as simple, unfussy, and minimal-luxe. The SATIN CREPE SLEEVELESS CLASP DRESS is great daywear, as is the cropped, white SHORT-SLEEVE SHIRT, both of which question the traditional silhouette—the designers' intent.
