Before the Fall 2012: Proenza and Schouler

    It seems as though the fresh air of Jack and Lazaro's recent Himalayan trek did their latest collection as much good as their city-smog-imbued lungs. Mountaineering themes were seen in sportive materials such as nylon and mesh, quilting reminiscent of sleeping bags, and bungee cord detailing. A signature bustier top was paired with a  high-waisted a-line skirt, each printed on silk jacquard with an aerial view of mountain ranges (word to Google Earth for making the program, but I think the boys have taken it to a whole new level). As always, J and L presented form with pique, and stunning saturated colors, and although I'm sure the Schouler boys donned something far more fashionable (perhaps one of Ghesquières Spring 12 visors), we tip our Tillys to them for reiterating the beauty of outdoor activity.
