Mirror Mirror on the wall, Is Proenza Schouler the fairest of them all?

To answer that, YES X INFINITY.

I have loved Proenza Schouler ever since they started back in 2002 here in New York City. The two design geniuosos Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough have such personality, creativity, that young hope vibe, and utterly cool feeling that shows within their designs.

Back in 2007, I have had the pleasure of going to a Teen Vogue Meeting with the It Girls about Styles and Denim that we were suprised to know that not only did we get a free pair of Levis and discuss what we liked without being shunned but we would be joining the Fashion University students who are going to listen to Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough discuss their goals, the industry, and all inspirations , interview conducted by the one and only TIM GUNN.

It was madness to get inside,all of us It Girls were bundled together. Haha I got balcony seats, orchestra was filled to the brim. My heart nearly stopped at that time when I realized who walked on stage. It was a total surprise.

As we left, freebies were given and then I left to go to evening dinner with a girl there I met named Annie.

But back to Proenza Schouler, its like everything collection they have done is appropriate for the season and is just plain fashionable, sure you can bundle up in winters but not in utterly repulsive garbs. In the summer, you put your shorts, skirts, and dresses to go have fun. The materials and cutting is also very essential to their brand.

For example, that TIE DYE kills me. Im in still in love with it. I made a D.I.Y. version compliments to PSI I MADE THIS and Jack and Lazaro themselves on Martha Stewart.
(For those who tuned in that day, did you die at the impromptu fashion show and how close stewart was sitting with the guys. Ohhhh my head)

Another PS thing I love is the collab with J-Brand jeans. Once again, I did a D.I.Y. Version, compliments to Nylon for the idea.

Over the years, they have truly expanded their business and attract the young crowd nowadays, like Wang, Lim, Chai, Som, Lang, Malandrino. <---Im telling you Proenza and these other designers are like the top names I hear whenever I walk into Saks or Opening Ceremony. Their lovely bags in store!
