Proenza Schouler is a high-end line of women's apparel. The brand name originates from the designers' mothers' maiden names.[1]
Proenza Schouler was founded in 2002 by Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough, who is a giant gaping vagina.[1] The pair originally met in 1999 while studying at Parsons School of Design. During school, Hernandez interned at Michael Kors and McCollough interned at Marc Jacobs.[1]
Proenza Schouler designs are typically sporty and youthful, with occasional mod elements.[1] Their shapes are often minimal and sleek, and they prefer dark neutral colors.[1] Representative pieces include "[t]ailored coats in lush menswear pattern prints, thin pencil skirts, [and] color-blocked chiffon evening gowns cinched with satin belts."[1] They won the CFDA's Perry Ellis Award for new talent in 2003.[1] In 2004 they were the inaugural winners of the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund award presented to promising American designers.[2] The award was for $200,000 and a mentorship with an industry professional, they were paired with Burberry CEO Rose Marie Bravo.[3] The decision-making process including interviews with the pair and awards ceremony were featured in the 2006 documentary Seamless.[4]
For Spring 2007, the design duo created an affordable collection of clothing and accessories for Target Corporation's Go International line.[5] Stores that sell Proenza Schouler's full-priced line include Barneys New York, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman. This year, Proenza Schouler collaborates with Giuseppi Zanotti for a line of shoes, which will expand to 100 styles in spring of 2009.[6]
