The Faves of New York Continued...

Day Five: Marc Jacobs

For the first season in like a bil, I didn't have a complete faclempt-attack or mental breakdown on Marc Monday. Fall was easy on the eyes and easy on wearability (or at least dreaming of wearability) - just the way I like it once in a very long time.

Day Six: Rodarte

Jesus, this was a great collection... actually it was my fave of the week. I love that the Mulleavys were back in the romantic realm of their first few collections and I also loved the Texan Spanish Mexican narrative.

Day Seven: Proenza Schouler

What the hell is it about a Proenza show that makes everything look hyper-familiar and just like you've never seen it at the same time. There were definitely shreds of it-girls like Alice, Chloe, and hell, even Lauren SD, but then there were those holy shit aspects like fun fur on varsity jackets and jagged swirl printed baby-doll meets sexpot dresses that made you do a quadruple take.

The Best Collection Ever...Thanks Proenza!

I can die now. I've seen heaven...and it's Proenza's Spring 2010 Collection. Thanks for everything mom, but I've got what I need. Seriously though, I haven't been this orgasmified by a collection since Balenciaga Spring 2007 and so until my next fashion heart attack...I'm content to stare at this for the rest of my life.

Proenza Schouler: Our Take

When one of your favourites presents another zinger collection following their last zinger collection, it's like 'thanks man, that was exactly what I needed.' Jack and Lazaro have a way of making that happen more often than not and this collection was no different. This time around, the boys translated their signature downtown chic into a collection of uncomplicated and highly wearable clothes that seemed to be free of inspirational liberties.

Randi's Pick

We all know that the boys have a thing for manipulating silk, but they seemed to have changed course from their typical tailoring in this completely organic looking dress. The juxtaposing of the geometric amethyst shapes against the nude chiffon makes Raquel look much like a goddess of modern proportions and to be honest, it just slays me.
