PROENZA SCHOULER
"Resort is about real clothes for our friends. Everybody went so far into fantasy that we lost the public. There's something about reality that feels fresh right now."
-Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough (the designers behind Proenza Schouler)
... So true! There's always debate over runway. Would commericializing runway make it less appealing? Possibly. Would I miss the interesting shows that more closely resembled works of art or Broadway shows? Probably. There will always be entertainment value. But in terms of the public audience, I have to say Hernandez and McCollough hit the nail right on the head when they decided to take a more realistic versus fantastic approach to their Resort collection. I think its great that they designed these clothes for regular people and not for models, and I loved their fresh take on tribal prints and ethnic colors. Oh and the texture mixing... genius!

I love the relaxed fits and safari color palette; the combination screams summer.
