Proenza Schouler is a high-end line of women's apparel. The brand name originates from the designers' mothers' maiden names.
Proenza Schouler is made up of a two man duo Jack McCullough and Lazaro Hernandez. The name of their company Proenza Schouler was formed by taking the maiden names of their mothers.
They were both born in 1979. Lazaro lived with his family in Miami before coming to New York. Jack studied glass-blowing at the San Francisco Art Institute.
Proenza Schouler designs are typically sporty and youthful, with occasional mod elements. Their shapes are often minimal and sleek, and they prefer dark neutral colors. Representative pieces include "tailored coats in lush menswear pattern prints, thin pencil skirts, and color-blocked chiffon evening gowns cinched with satin belts."
