Schouler?... Schouler?... Schouler?...

Proenza Schouler's Day Off ended up at the former home of the Whitney Museum with a parade of really interesting clothes, the kind that get you get excited about shopping and I just wanted to say 'Danke Schoen' because American fashion is too often a slightly watered down version of what started in Paris last season with no strong independent look - at the moment anyway.

I have been a long time fan of Proenza Schouler's light, slightly sheer tees in a multitude of tye-dye colors, short sleeves, long sleeves, I have stripes, squiggles... and just a note here: the care label on the tees read 'Dry Clean' so I think to myself, well, they are cotton, I am going to wash them at home... a long sad story cut short, my 12 year old daughter has a lovely collection of my now too small Proenza Schouler t-shirts.  I just picked up my latest group from the dry cleaners : )

The whole collection was brilliantly styled with wide, gaping fishnets and the clothes were slashed and draped around the body.  There were grommets, fur, sequins and it was all wonderfully wearable because yes, life should have grommets, fur and sequins for some fun.

A few of my favorite looks:

Martha Stewart Tie-Dyes with the Proenza Schouler Boys! Meanwhile RARE vintage Tie Dyes with Christian Dior...

Martha Stewart is a woman who gets a lot done in a day.  She runs a magazine, has a daily television show, owns a compound in Bedford, a house in East Hampton, a cottage in Maine, apartments in the city, has a line of stuff for Walmart, can make a mean chicken with time left over to tie dye a shirt with the designers of Proenza Schouler.

This was a great shirt from Proenza Schouler this summer.  It was a big hit.  Comfy, classic and a good price.  No wonder it sold out so quickly.

I confess to not being crafty enough to tie dye my own shirt.  I would rather just go out and buy the one from Proenza Schouler.  So when having had a momentary delusion of DIY, I thankfully bought this Christian Dior floaty frock and thought, see I don't have to do a thing!  Leave the tie dying to my children (here I have a complete horror of the tie dye shirts they do in camp and bring home.  All of that color which looks like it is about to run onto everything!)  Much better to leave the tie dying to the petits mains of Christian Dior.  (Why do my children look at me blankly when I say this?!)

Isn't it beautiful, glorious and glamorous?!  Perfect with a pair of strappy heels or a jeweled flat.  Very boho and quite sexy with the deeply cut back.  

 Perfectly dreamy!
