Proenza Schouler spring 2011, Imaxtree

Nothing’s set in stone with these rocks, whose fickle composition sent mixed messages of the best kind down the spring 2011 runways.  Cabochons—polished gemstones with a rounded top—were shaken up into various combinations, adding some welcome quirk to the usual bejeweled elegance of fashion week.  Proenza Schouler’s jolie-laide necklaces were reminiscent of an Alexander Calder mobile, combining various unexpected shapes and colors into a single, harmonious  look.  Oscar de la Renta’s chains were a little more old school, with gems in the same color families of translucent pinks and greens.  These, alongside some options that are just as precious but a bit less costly, are in stores now. Check it out after the jump!
