Proenza Schouler is a high-end women's fashion label created by Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough]]. The name is derived from the maiden names of both the designers' mothers. Their look is young and sporty with a nod to the 1960's.
The Look
Hip and sporty with a retro feel, the designers use menswear patterns for their tailored coats and skirts. In terms of evening wear the duo work with high end materials of chiffon and satin creating sleek silhouettes in their gowns, yet still incorporating a subtle masculine tone with their dark bronze and military green colors.
