The swirled patchwork pieces in the Proenza Schouler Resort 2012 channel the rusty hues of desert sunsets. Designers Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough modernized the classic patchwork aesthetic with fabrics like tweed and silk, opting for a swirling, undulating pattern throughout.
I'm particularly fond of the belted shift dresses in the Proenza Schouler Resort 2012 collection. They blend just the right measures of chic, contemporary and conservative, making them equally perfect for work, happy hour or date night. Not all pieces are this restrained, however; oversized patch pockets on other skirts and dresses add a dash of whimsy and offer the opportunity to introduce a punch of color.
The Proenza Schouler Resort 2012 line is just the ticket to break out of winter's doldrums.
