Fashion’s favorite design duo, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler, are reportedly heading to Loewe, according to Lauren Sherman of Puck. Known for their cerebral take on American sportswear and game-changing accessories like the iconic PS1 satchel, the pair could be the fresh energy Loewe needs to reimagine its leather goods empire.
McCollough and Hernandez made their mark with Proenza’s intelligent tailoring, experimental textures, and an effortless fusion of downtown grit and high-fashion polish. Their PS1 satchel—a slouchy, utilitarian It bag of the late 2000s, cemented their commercial success, striking a balance between functionality and aspiration.
At Loewe, a brand synonymous with leather innovation and home to Jonathan Anderson’s cult Puzzle bag, the timing couldn’t be better. With the Puzzle enjoying years of success but perhaps nearing its peak, McCollough and Hernandez’s instinct for creating fresh yet functional accessories could shape Loewe’s next signature piece. The move feels like a perfect match. Loewe’s craftsmanship-focused, surrealist ethos under Anderson aligns beautifully with Proenza Schouler’s art-world sensibility and ability to appeal to both nonconformists and the mainstream. Could this duo be the key to Loewe’s next evolution? Fashion insiders are watching closely.
