McCollough and Hernandez founded the American label Proenza Schouler in 2002 after meeting at Parsons School of Design while in school. They went on to win five CFDA awards and are lauded for their modern creative direction, which is underscored by contemporary culture in the fashion industry. 

‘We are incredibly honoured to join Loewe, a house whose values and mission align closely with our own,” McCollough and Hernandez said in a joint press statement. “We look forward to working alongside its extraordinary teams and artisans, whose talent—under the exceptional creative direction of Jonathan Anderson—has shaped LOEWE into the cultural force it is today. We extend our sincere gratitude to Bernard Arnault, Delphine Arnault, Sidney Toledano, and to Pascale Lepoivre for entrusting us with this remarkable house’s next chapter.” 

Loewe’s CEO, Pascale Lepoivre, also looks forward to this new chapter for Loewe. 

“I am delighted to welcome Jack and Lazaro to LOEWE,” Pascale Lepoivre said. “Their vision and creativity are a perfect match for the codes of the house that we have built, and I am excited to see them shape its future.”
