Proenza Schouler kicks off the start of New York Fashion Week with a harmonious blend of contrasting elements.&nbsp;

<a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion/new-york-fashion-week-spring-2025-schedule-designers-shows-what-to-see-do-nyfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Fashion Week</a> has unofficially kicked off, and <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion/proenza-schouler-hampden-charleston-15th-anniversary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Proenza Schouler</a> set the tone for the spring collections with a fresh approach to the downtown-chic spirit the label is known for.&nbsp;
Beloved New York-based designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez know what city girls want to wear, and have a long list of muses, include original it girl Chlo&euml; Sevigny, who opened the the duo's 20th anniversary show last year. There was also a familiar face on the runway this morning: that of carefree California girl Devon Lee Carlson, who made her runway debut.
Unlike recent collections, the designers focused on pattern and texture for spring, turning up the volume from the <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion/quiet-luxury-hair-stealth-wealth-hairstyle-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quiet luxury</a> look from seasons past.
The collection artfully combines craft, color, and print, blending modern sophistication with a sense of free-spirited wanderlust &mdash; exploring the harmony between contrasting elements. Stripes and large panels are central motifs throughout the collection, paying homage to American abstract artist Barnett Newman while also honing in on traditional <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion/nautical-stripes-summer-2021-trend-runway-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nautical seaside</a> themes.&nbsp;
<a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion/trend-alert-fringe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frayed fringe</a> is another key aspect of the Spring/Summer 2025 collection, often using the edgy look of grommets to contrast the ease of frayed fringe on the gowns' ends. Glitchy silks and technical <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/shopping/the-best-knits-to-live-in-all-summer-long" target="_blank" rel="noopener">knits</a> paired with hand-shredded organza skirts highlight the brand's vision of harmonizing handcrafted artistry with machine precision.
The collection is anchored by practical yet stylish accessories, including some staple bags, including the Tate Tote, Tetra shoulder bag, and Silo bag, while varied footwear silhouettes, from butterfly slippers to <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/shopping/kitten-heels-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pointy-toe kitten heels</a>, emphasize versatility and the transition from winter to spring.
The show was held in <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion/chanel-tribeca-festival-artists-dinner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tribeca</a>, at a striking red brick building on a charming cobblestone corner. Initially constructed in 1884 as the New York Mercantile Exchange, 6 Harrison Street is a designated New York City Landmark, making it a perfect backdrop for the kickoff of NYFW.
With celebrity appearances by model and step-daughter of Vice President Kamala Harris, <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion/ella-emhoff-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ella Emhoff</a>, and model <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/emily-ratajkowski-emrata-nude-instagram-pregnancy-body-positivity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emily Ratajkowski</a>, the audience was just as star-studded as the runway itself.&nbsp;See every look from Proenza Schouler's Spring/Summer 2025 collection below.&nbsp;
