Print Screen: Proenza Schouler Fall/Winter 2014

Who said New Yorkers don't know how to do color? This Fall/Winter 2014, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, the beloved Proenza Schouler boys, were color starved and pattern crazy.

Inspired by artist Ron Nagle's glazed and curiously distorted ceramics, specifically those showcased at the 55th Venice Biennale, this season has you seeing some intricate, visceral, and yes, trippy prints. The designers experimented with patterns like speckle- and crackle-print and tigerlike wood-grain. Pioneering the art of juxtaposition, the duo paired said prints with Working Girl-era silhouettes, hitting the mark with draped shoulders and pinched pleating with the Boucle Jacquard Jacket. For the Flock Print Crepe Suiting Pants, a woodcut-like animal print finds its home on a high-waisted, tapered leg cut that would impress past, present, and future art dealers.
