2011 Fall/Winter
Pedro Lourenco
Now 20, Pedro Lourenco burst brightly onto the fashion landscape just a year ago with his strict, meticulously crafted leather dresses. They were perfect for eliciting genuine oohs and aahs, but were perhaps not the thing that everyone's going to run out to buy. Today, Lourenço's geometric and vaguely futuristic vision had a decidedly softer aspect, one that's surely more customer-friendly. (Even though last season no less than 10 Corso Como in Milan, Louis Boston, Wynn Las Vegas, and Joseph London picked up the collection.) Not that Lourenço intended to make things easier. "It just happened to become more wearable," he shrugged backstage before the show.
Still, something like a sharply cut, sparkling tweed coat inset with an illusory panel of sheer organza seemed to make the most of Lourenço's ideas and his pretty masterful technique while also having serious real-world appeal. Ditto those coolly minimal tops with strips of fox pieced into leather and organza—worn with skinny wool stirrup pants—which looked like an idea Helmut Lang might have come up with.
