Proenza does a brilliant job of injecting sophisticated, urban chic styles with a hugely refreshing dose of bohemian craftiness. Designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez showed a Pre-Fall collection filled with ikat prints, multicolored woven textures, and warm stripes, all in styles we can wear around the city. We love the ready-to-wear, but what really got us going were the fantastic accessories (which include the PS1 in new colors). Brightly woven shoes? Yes, please!

We love the hats in the collection, and given soon-to-be Princess Kate's affection for them, might he have been designing with her in mind as well?
