NYFW Fall 10: Proenza Schouler

Proenza Schouler is without a doubt one of the shows it seems everyone has been waiting for, as season after season we get something new and exciting. I absolutely adored their preppy, sombre hued Pre-Fall collection so was understandably excited to see that their Fall collection was a development in the same vein - yet with a darker, punkier twist to it. Duffle coats, deconstructed fair isle knits and static-like patterned high waisted jeans were some of my favorite features. As were the button up shirts with the contrasting black top button that jumped out at you which featured in many looks.

The Proenza boys also did a twisted, darker take and baby doll dresses that was refreshingly un-saccharine. What were your favorite Proenza looks? And do you like the development from their Pre-Fall collection? Because I almost think I liked that a teeeny bit more (although I still love the Fall collection too, don't get me wrong).
I did love the beauty look - bare face with strong brows and a merlot stained lip - fresh and youthful yet with a dark edge.

And don't even get me started on the delightfully clunky shoes. They are like the ultimate footwear lovechild of Clogs, Orthopedic shoes and Brothel Creepers. Topped off with an eery heel.
