Proenza Schouler & Prabal Gurung prefall 2019


So the boys of Proenza Schouler bought back their company or shall I say someone did... and from the looks of it they will have a long wait for the ROI. Once again these clothes say nothing other than androgyny to a certain point and a lot of been there done that... and Zara. They obviously haven’t learned that clothes don’t come with explanations for their being and clothes like these won’t look like much or make much of a statement hanging on a rail. My advice would be get a look... make a statement and stick to it because shopping for a new client each season is not the answer to success which brings up to the next designer.

Prabal Gurung who when he started made the most perfectly exquisite dresses and now for as long I can recall seems to be shopping for a new  client each season. Yes there are some pretty gowns but as far as continuity, the collection hits a lot of speed bumps along the way. The addition of menswear is somewhat silly unless of course one is a wannabe designer home boy. The gowns speak for themselves and the rest is just clothes for the sake of clothes and without a season.

I understand that the demand on these designers is almost at break point with all the collections but wouldn’t it be easier to follow a path than continually taking a different one season after season to find the correct destination?
