Proenza Schouler's design philosophy takes its cue from the idea of contrasts-ideas rooted in classicism that, when juxtaposed with new and interesting materials, create a unique and singular look. Tortoiseshell and brushed metals coexist in one style while exposed hinges and resin pair in another. An air of nonchalance is key... nothing too forced. The utilitarian feel of the shapes brings to mind eyewear of a different time, but the absolute focus on details and materials makes it a product of today.
