I’m not going to pretend I fully got what Proenza Schouler designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez were trying to do with the fall and winter 2019 collection they sent down the runway here Monday afternoon; the show notes were indecipherable to the point of parody in places (example: “Pieces are created as remnants of thing[s] that once were, thus calling on one’s memory to complete the composition”) and when they did make sense the stated goals were vague at best: “reconciling the contradictory” and “reveling in the glory of having sidestepped clear definitions or stifling labels.”
Proenza Schouler was one of several labels to present a mix-and-match, slice-and-dice, melding-of-opposites fall and winter 2019 runway collection this week. But the design duo proved that, in the right hands, less is more.
