“We’ve, of course, followed Loewe for a long time and have the deepest respect for what has been built over the past decade — it’s truly incredible,” Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez shared with Vogue Business on Sunday evening. A few hours later, on Monday morning, the founders and former creative directors of Proenza Schouler would be appointed creative directors of the LVMH-owned Spanish fashion house. Their nomination, which is effective 7 April, comes exactly a week after Loewe confirmed the departure of longtime creative director Jonathan Anderson. McCollough and Hernandez rose to fame in 2002 when they founded New York cult label Proenza Schouler after graduating from Parsons School of Design. Known for its cool-girl, New York spirit, the label became an NYFW mainstay over the last two decades, save for a short-lived stint showing in Paris for SS18 and AW18. McCollough and Hernandez announced their departure from Proenza Schouler in January but will remain on the board and continue to be shareholders. A new creative director is yet to be announced.
