Proenza Schouler is a New York based womenswear and accessories brand founded in 2002 by designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez. The team met whilst studying at Parson's School of Design, and their senior thesis collaboration was the start of something special. Not many designers can say their collegiate collections would become their genuine collection, but they can, and not only that; the entire collection was purchased by Barneys New York. Proenza Schouler is refined, yet wearable with ease, and has played a pivotal role in redefining American fashion.
