Barneys to Relaunch Proenza Schouler’s First Collection
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Sales,
To celebrate its tenth anniversary (and perhaps also in commemoration of those three, well-deserved CDFA Womenswear Designer of the Year awards), Proenza Schouler will be re-releasing their first collection, set to be sold at Barneys.
The decision to sell the slightly-altered version of their first collection at Barneys was a no-brainer for designers Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough, as it was the famous retailer who had snapped up their senior thesis line back in 2003 when they were graduating from Parsons.

Items Du Jour: Gwen for L’Oreal, Proenza Schouler, Daphne Talks

-- With her trademark red lips, it's about time a cosmetic company snatched Gwen Stefani up as their celebrity spokesperson! The singer-turned-fashion designer signed a contract with L'Oreal Paris; her full commercial will air during the Golden Globes.
-- Speaking of lips, Lindsay Lohan was spotted at the gym again (better there than at alcohol-infested locations), only this time her mouth looked detachable. I wonder if she's taking cues from her friend Kim Kardashian and blaming it on the flu...
-- Proenza Schouler released their second ever ad campaign. They're like the Givenchy ads, but with a splash of color. Thoughts?
-- If you're the least bit in love with fashion and you live in London, you ought to see Daphne Guinness speak at the Royal Academy on the 27th of the month. There's no other lecture on earth that could be greater than the psychology of clothes: "I once read an article in which a psychologist explained that, when we say we 'have nothing to wear,' it really means that we have nothing that expresses who we want to be that day," said the RA events and lectures manager Dr. Alison Bracker.

Actress Kate Bosworth thinks Proenza Schouler designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez are "true artists."
The 27-year-old loves the creations from the design team and gets excited every time a new collection is due.
"They're so effortless. True artists. I'm so excited to see what they do every season. And they know if I'm not there in person, I dissect their collection online. I so look forward to it. It's incredible."
The design team love Kate in return, and think she is perfect for their clothes. "We know her pretty well. She's pretty easy to dress. We know what looks good on her. We showed her a few things and everything fit perfectly. She makes our job really easy," McCollough said.
Speaking at the Fashion Group International Night of Stars at Cipriani Wall Street in New York, Kate confessed she loved being the pair's date for the evening: "I just get to be their date, which makes me very happy."

Items Du Jour: Meiselpic, David Lynch, Marc and Lorenzo Buy a House
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors, Site Announcements,
- Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone finally purchased a townhouse in New York’s West Village for a cool $10.4 million. To think that this was the house that the couple claimed they counting their pennies for!
- A new type of plastic surgery involves liposuctioning fat from your butt and injecting it into your breasts to increase their size. Here I thought Fight Club‘s idea of re-using fat for soap was bad.
- Twitter inspires fashion photographer Steven Meisel, prompting him to get a pregnant Gisele Bundchen (as well as Lara Stone, Sessilee Lopez, Naomi Campbell, and others) taking pictures of herself via Meiselpic—clever, right?—for the December cover of Vogue Italia.
- In interesting collaboration news, John Galliano recruits David Lynch (Mulholland Drive, Eraserhead) to direct his next installment of Dior short films. Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard will star in the short features.
- Proenza Schouler finally has an e-commerce site, although it appears as if they’re still figuring out what to put on there—so far, there are four items listed.

Fashion Police: Kristen Stewart Embraces Color
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, News, Women,
Usually a fan of more monochrome fare, Kristen Stewart stepped out at the London premiere of New Moon in the bold Look 20 from Proenza Schouler’s Spring/Summer ‘10 collection.
While I definitely give her the points in effort, I’m not necessarily fancying the outfit on the Twilight starlet - not only does it make her look frumpy, but her Joan Jett hair doesn’t bode well with the ensemble.

The Secret to Proenza Schouler is Disagreement
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Sales, Women,
Despite their fabulous creations, you wouldn’t know that designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez butted heads frequently.
In their defense, Hernandez explained, “It’s part of the creative process—the dialogue.”
Their collection that’s to be shown next week at Milk, for instance, gave the pair quite a challenge. “There was a lot; it’s been a tricky collection,” McCollough said. “We’re doing new things. Like color. But color’s really subjective,” Hernandez finished.
Here’s a taste of what goes on between the two:
McCollough: A color you like I might despise.
Hernandez: Everyone sees color differently.
McCollough: If he likes red and I like blue, we wind up doing purple.
Hernandez: We do a lot of gray, because he likes black and I like white.
McCollough: I don’t really like white, actually.
Hernandez: I don’t really like black, either.
Either way, whatever they’re doing seems to be steadily working: “Things are definitely picking up from the low of last year. But stores still aren’t buying as much,” Hernandez said.
