After previewing the stills from their new collaborative film in August, Proenza Schouler have released ‘Act Da Fool’ by Harmony Korine on their official YouTube account. The final product is an intimate portrait of an unruly gang of adolescent girls in a Nashville town, rebellious against their immediate reality yet warm with the hope of wider possibilities.

Seeming somewhat caged and awkward in the cropped proportions of Proenza Schouler’s Fall Winter 2010 collection, the girls run rampant on the town in a binge of graffiti, booze and cigarettes. In a 180º shift from the catwalk where models are transformed by a designer, these characters take little or no influence from the clothes. Instead they carry on their daily lives, with the casual voice-over sprouting snippets of her own sentiments on friendship, ambition, love and their town.
