Proenza Schouler is a New York-based womenswear and accessories brand founded in 2002 by designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez. The duo met while studying at Parsons School of Design, eventually collaborating on their senior thesis which became their first collection, Proenza Schouler, named after the designers’ mothers’ maiden names.

Proenza Schouler makes luxury fashion for the intelligent, adult urban woman of today. The line is generally defined by Jack and Lazaro’s use of fine luxury materials, consistently infused with a marked sense of effortlessness and ease.
