Show-Review-Public-School-Fall-2016-29After not too long showing their Menswear collection, Public School shifted gears and came back down the runway with their Fall 2016 Womenswear collection. New York-based designers Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne gave us their downtown chic, bohemian look with around 80% of the collection in neutral tones of black and olive green. Show-Review-Public-School-Fall-2016-27Show-Review-Public-School-Fall-2016-28To offset the balance of black and green, the brand used texture as a styling technique: leatherette inserts, fur and shearling were but a few ways to add a pop of chicness to an outfit meant and built to withstand the ever changing temperatures of the season.Show-Review-Public-School-Fall-2016

Surprises ensued as random pops of color came down the runway, red button-down dresses paired with electric pink floor-grazing trench coats added a soft feminity to the look, while combat boots continued in line with the preparation for Fall and Winter.Show-Review-Public-School-Fall-2016-3Show-Review-Public-School-Fall-2016-5It was refreshing to see pops of color added into the collection while not abandoning the hardcore edge defined by baggy hoodies and anoraks, and low-falling hemlines.Show-Review-Public-School-Fall-2016-9Show-Review-Public-School-Fall-2016-7
Bright silver metallics also showed through in both separates and in jumpsuits, with baggy attire that modeled the brand’s signature athleisure wear and multi-layered aesthetic.Show-Review-Public-School-Fall-2016-20 Show-Review-Public-School-Fall-2016-15 Individual pieces presented a sense of universality and flexibility for the collection: a garment could be used under a coat in the Fall but paired individually by itself for the Spring. No matter the fast-paced lives of those buying the clothes, the collection is sure to offer the laid-back and cool approach to clothing while still adding in an element of intentional fashion.Show-Review-Public-School-Fall-2016-18Show-Review-Public-School-Fall-2016-19
