Proenza Schouler


Proenza Schouler's safari-inspired spring collection was one of the most talked about at New York's Fashion Week. It was called outstanding and of the best from the brand's short but impressive history. The design duo signed a lucrative deal with the Valentino Fashion Group that allowed them to work with the finest materials like feathers from Lemarié, the Paris go to supplier for couture feathers.

Proenza Schouler was founded by Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough in 2002 and it has already gained a strong fashion following. They met while studying at Parsons School of Design. During school, Hernandez interned at Michael Kors and McCollough interned at Marc Jacobs. For their thesis project they partnered and called the effort by theirs mothers' maiden names, Proenza Schouler, and fashion history was made.

The look is American-sporty with a youthful touch. Cinched waists, tailored jackets and body conscious pieces are always reinterpreted and given new life in a Proenza Schouler collection.

Bellow some of their most recent collections as well as some of their most devoted fans.

Love, love, love Proenza Schouler! I also love how they got their name! I read an interview they did a while back - and they just seem so cool.

while i was at fashion u, tim gunn spoke volumes about the "proenza schouler boys". i was shocked when he told us that they sold their senior collection to Barney's and were the first pair to ever work together for the Parson's final project!

simply the best designers to come out of fashion in a very long time.

They are making such a splash! It's really incredible their rapid rise to fame and popularity. I think the fashion world was waiting for some fresh blood and they came along at the right time.

Their Fall 07 collection is amazing. I love that fur trimmed coat in the 4th photo.

I love PS so much.

Undoubtedly one of my favourites! And Jack and Lazaro seem to have a very calm and fun way about them which I think is very appealing.

The SS07 collection has been my favourite, but I also love the seventies vibe of their latest one. The carpet style dress that Alice Gibb is my crush.
