Modegeschichte
Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez founded the label in 2002 after collaborating on their senior thesis at Parsons School of Design. Barneys New York purchased the entire debut collection, establishing the brand's immediate industry presence. Proenza Schouler has received multiple CFDA awards, including Womenswear Designer of the Year. The brand is historically significant for bridging the gap between traditional couture techniques and the pragmatic requirements of modern, metropolitan life.
