New Spring Collections: Proenza Schouler, Reed Krakoff, The Blonds, and More

It’s the last day of Fashion Week, and some heavy hitters came down the pipeline last night: Proenza Schouler’s show, set on beige shag carpeting, featured floral prints and graphic patterns in retro shades of goldenrod, pumpkin, and robin’s egg blue. Reed Krakoff worked with similar hues, only more vibrant and manifested in shiny fabrics, leather, and sequins. Meanwhile, The Blonds’ Playmate-inspired show played true to the theme, with a pom-pom-studded bodysuit thrown in the mix for good measure. See all the shows, plus more, in our runway galleries.
