Worm Therapy

1. Proenza Schouler Fall/Winter 2013

3. Proenza Schouler Fall/Winter 2013

With his pattern design for the Memphis Milano movement, Ettore Sottsass turned geometric forms into texture, and laminate became textile. What originally had an op-art effect on furniture, turns into fake fur on clothes.

Post New York IV

A false encyclopaedic guide to the New York collections, presenting:
Proenza Schouler Spring/Summer 2013

1. Yens Cuyvers Roswell Did Happen, 2012
2. Comme des Garçons Fall/Winter 2011
3. Isa Genzken Fassade II (Duchamp), 2010

Supposedly inspired by tumblr, the Proenza collection applied the beloved principle of 'collage'. An approach to be applauded for its subtle complexity. The commendable example of mixed media that creates something new instead of repeating the old.
