To me Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez took as back to high school.

A dark seemingly twisted high school but high school never the less.

One that sees your high school boyfriend’s varsity jacket bedecked with fur in ominous tones at the collar. The humble Mary Janes, saddle shoes and school girl brogues are on steroids with warped heels. Pants and garments are scrawled with graffiti like angst fueled scribbles. School girl knee high socks go Lolita in sheer form. Plaid prints look twisted, the toggle crop jackets make youthful legs look even longer and the PS11 satchels put your old high school backpack to shame. Ivy League goes dark punk.

If my high school had looked as good as the Proenza Schouler fall 2010 – 2011 collection, I never would have left.

Hernandez and McCollough know where cool is at.
