Our 'Current Designers' class visited Neiman Marcus on 150 Stockton Street and Barneys New York on 77 O'Farrell Street in San Francisco. The main objective of the field trip was to see how the 'runway' looks have been interpreted in the store floors. It was a great opportunity to feel the actual materials and visually observe the crafty and artistic creations of each featured designers.
Featured Designers:
Proenza Schouler
COLOR PALETTES: from ocean and electric blue, lime and neon green, flaming red to black and navy.
PRINTS/FABRICS: As seen above and in Barneys New York, the prints mimic the waves of the ocean and shadowed the abstract linings of trees that were boldly sliced with the explosion of gratifying, vivid colors. The fabric consisted of satin,wool and leather; which were by the way dotted-like pixels..It was visible in the store with a close reflection of what was on the Proenza Schouler Spring 2013 runway show.
SILHOUETTES: According to WWD.com the "...dresses that were fitted around the bodice and shoulders like a wet suit with a skirt that flared to the knee". My interpretation of that silhouette is one that hugs the body yet falls off gracefully from the waist to the knee. In other looks, the silhouette of the boxy-jackets fell loose on the body but structured well on the shoulder adding a bulkiness feel to the clothing.
