Proenza Schouler
American sportswear for the urban insider. Most-coveted label among Editors and stylists. This design duo likes "the idea of keeping things honest and finishing them beautifully."
Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez first met in 1998 as students at Parsons School of Design in New York. In their senior year as fashion majors, Jack and Lazaro teamed up to design their senior collection. The joint effort exceeded all expectations and was met by rave reviews, inspiring them to launch their own independent label, Proenza Schouler.
Today Proenza Schouler is one of the most anticipated collections of New York Fashion Week, winner of the 2007 CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year and a favorite of celebrities including Cate Blanchett, Julianne Moore and Chloe Sevigny.
