Proenza Schouler: They always use interesting fabrics and colour combinations. I am having trouble defining my colours and it's interesting to see the way they use colour. Proenza Schouler use blocks of one of two colours in an outfit, and use more than one or two colours in details to tie the collection together, while also making the outfits stand out alone. It's striking and bold, but uncomplicated and never too much.
J. Mendel are specialists in fur. But I don't think it was just the use of luxe fur that made this collection stand out for me. The textures created my mixing soft fur, shiny leather, matt wool and blocks of black and white create contrasting textural outfits. I love the mix of shiny/matt/hairy and would like to think about this in my own work, avoiding the obvious mix of fur and leather. I think texture can be found in all sorts of unexpected materials.
