One week ago, I posted whom I would love to see at Loewe after Jonathan Anderson’s exit had been announced and yesterday the Spanish House fulfilled my prediction: Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, the duo behind Proenza Schouler, will be taking over as the brand’s new creative directors starting April 7, 2025. They’re stepping in after Jonathan Anderson, who spent 11 years transforming Loewe into a globally respected fashion house with over $1.5 billion in annual revenue.
Their work has been instrumental in shaping modern fashion, with a design practice rooted in a rigorous exploration of craft filtered through an artistic sensibility, which has not only evolved the industry’s landscape but aligns with the values that underscore Loewe’s 179-year heritage. This move is also part of a bigger shake-up by Loewe’s parent company, LVMH, as they fine-tune leadership across several luxury labels.
It’s a pretty big shift, and I am curious and excited to see how their American fashion background will influence Loewe’s next chapter.
LoL, Sandra

The PS1 bag was launched in 2008 as the first bag of the New York based designer duo Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough for their label Proenza Schouler (their mothers’ respective maiden names). Since then, it has been seen on the arms of the most fashionable people in the world. It comes in three different sizes, large, medium and as a clutch.
My own PS1 obsession!
Its hype seems to have no end. Probably because it is a very practical and stylish bag in one. The medium and the large size have a handle and a detachable knotted shoulder strap, compartments at front, inside and at the back, plus a foldover flap with lock.
The favourite of editors, stylists and A-listers alike, Proenza Schouler’s satchel is a must-have style. Available among others at net-à-porter and Barneys.
For Resort 2011, the duo gave their bestseller a little make-over and called it the Weekender. It will be released in two different sizes medium and large.
Moreover the iconic PS1 will get a little sister: The Mini PS1 bag.
For this F/W 2011 Proenza Schouler introduced the PS11, the more structured take on the PS1, let’s say the sophisticated sister that will also be staying for Resort 2011.
