A/W 11: Proenza Schouler

Oh my, my first postings of a Fashion Week show! How exciting.

In a weekend full of excitement (Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" coming out, of course), NY Fashion Week kind of took the backseat of my mind. So, when I found out Style.com would be broadcasting my favorite, Proenza Schouler, I made sure the 5pm time stayed in my front seat! By the way, being 3 hours late from my home on the East Coast sucks big time. But, yes, I sat in my studio apartment in LA on my futon with my MacBook hooked up to my 22" television and enjoyed every minute of the too-quick PS show.




The show featured an abundance of (I found this out the first time from @KirnaZabete) jacquards! They were woven to make such nice diamond shapes. To me, a reference to the 90's... Hilary Banks, anyone? I was also reminded of the 70's with the wallpaper patterns and all. But the colored jackets, folded-over skirts, tucked in button ups... My favorite look was a chunky-knit sweater of grey, blue-violets, and red paired with a pant in the same colors but different pattern. It's probably my favorite because I want to take it and wear it tomorrow. Plus the influences of Native American/Western culture was lovely. Orange, orange, orange! The yellow and black woven skirt of Native American influence is my second favorite of the collection.










The show was fantastic in colors and fabrics and prints. Lazzaro and Jack seem to be giving us a more sophisticated woman and leaving behind their back-to-school style. The duo did this in a very successful way.

I Know Where I'm Going for FNO!!!!

Fashion's Night Out

In about 17 +/- 18 days (September 10th), Fashion's Night Out will commence internationally. I want to attend FNO in New York City. Most likely, I'll somehow make myself go. But what a week.. Gaga on the 7th, possibly Gaga on the 8th, then the streets of Manhattan for FNO! In my post below I mentioned how I scheduled to take out my wisdom teeth on the 10th, the day of FNO and the day after NY Fashion Week has begun. I'll change that, definitely.


I'll post my itinerary later as the date gets closer and as I get it fine tuned. I definitely want to see M-K & A, go to Opening Ceremony... Bergdorfs and Saks? Remember my talking about my uncle who works at Kirna Zabete? The tiny boutique on Greene St. in SoHo? Well, they're throwing a little soiree. He really said party but I wanted to use that word as a funny. So KZ will be one of my places of visit for the evening. Maybe I can pick up a Proenza Schouler PS1 bag or maybe a Wang Darcy Hobo bag? We'll see... I just want to go to the city for that night!

And possibly drop some money... But how much can one male buy in a sea of womenswear?

New York City September 10th 2010 on the heels of New York Fashion Week from 6-11 PM. Be there.

I Need a Bag for School... A Proenza Schouler Bag

Right. Having an uncle who works at Kirna Zabete in SoHo as their in-home photographer sure makes me jealous. The store has visitors like Gwenyth Paltrow and Tim Gunn. But he gets to touch, photograph, and work with products I would kill for. For him, he holds the job as a job. He's not necessarily a follower of fashion but he does get to see some of its ins and outs. This jealousy of mine extends to his raving of the Proenza Schouler Large PS1 Bag. The boutique sells out of these holy grails fast when they get them in stock. That is understandable. It is a bag held by many celebs like Mary-Kate and Leighton.

This has to be my most coveted item right now though. I want a bag for classes and every day use. Although I might not even want to take it out of its wrapping once I purchase it. I just had to share my want for the Fall season. So versatile, leather, spacious. The PS1 Bag is a MUST-HAVE ITEM!
