For years, Proenza Schouler's design duo, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, have crafted the looks you've seen on celebs like Kate Bosworth [1] and Liv Tyler [2]. Their brand of cool comes with equal parts edge and restraint, defining themes of the Fall '16 lineup.
The edginess reads in exposed laces or a riff on the bandage dress that showcases technique, not skin — there's the restraint. To that point, there is sex appeal throughout, but it doesn't hit the predictable notes. It's the kind that cuts a subtle slash into the side of a dress that you'd expect to see on Diane Kruger [3]. The other stars are the beautiful outerwear and expertly cut blazers — ranging from patent, shearling-collared trenches to aysmmetrical blazers to a patchwork fur coat. They were likely on the wish lists of every woman in the room.
- Trends: Leather trenches, suiting
- Colors: Soft gray, cream, and peach with a spot of yellow and red
- Bags: Structured chain-strap handbags worn crossbody style
- Shoes: Sleek ankle boots, some cap-toed and metallic
- Key Look: The strappy printed apron dress worn over a bandage-style top
