The Proenza Schouler boys were back where they started last season with an eye towards luxury. Sequins seemed to be everywhere — on a gold tank under tweed, all over kicky minidresses, and adorning slouchy, pajama-like pants and trousers. I loved the white secretary blouse with its oversized bow and the jewel-toned silk dresses over tights.

Proenza Schouler for Spring 2008 has turned a corner. Fashion critics have taken to declaring this collection “all grown up”, but I think the boys have been grown and ready for quite some time. However, a little cash doesn’t hurt and the influence of that Valentino money has certainly introduced a new luxe feel to the design house.
For Spring 2008, Jack and Lazaro brought British bobby style to the runway with looks topped off with military hats, serious plumage, and clothes that were far from simple. The gold embellished dresses were my faves and I love the belted jackets and coats. Like every other fashionista, I can’t help but overjoyed to the point of swooning at everything in this collection. Final verdict: ProScho, I love you!
