Hernandez described this collection as "Asian, but in a New York way."- and I absolutely LOVED it!
Thin strips of navy, black, and white leather were woven into a tiny grid for a side-zip jacket - brilliant! Needless to say, my favourite pieces were the beautifully embroidered pieces with oriental themes, the 'chinoiserie' dresses, the varsity jackets embroidered with pheasants on the chest; as well as the woven paillette skirts with which they were paired, and the stunning quilted-satin cocktail dresses with the bird embellishments. This has to be one of my favourite collections of the PS boys to date:
Preen
I found quite a few pieces by the duo to be reminiscent of Dries Van Noten's FW'11 collection, with their own twist of course. What I loved most were the botanical flowers and butterfly prints, which were made modern and fresh with simple silhouettes and panelling with sharp blocks of a very flat matte 'scuba wool' fabric, and manipulated by printing the motifs on sequins and embroidering over them with tarnished silver beading.
