Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernández are LOEWE’s new creative directors

Following the departure of Jonathan Anderson, the House has chosen the acclaimed creative duo to write the new chapter of its history.

Proenza Schouler co-founders Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez will lead the creative direction of all LOEWE collections, which include women’s ready-to-wear, men’s ready-to-wear, leather goods and accessories. The change will take effect on April 7, and will mark the beginning of a new era for the House, which already has a 179-year legacy.

The designers’ story is one of early success and consolidation in the industry. Known for their extraordinary approach and ability to reinterpret the codes of contemporary fashion through craftsmanship, Jack and Lazaro met at Parsons School of Design, and it was then that they decided to found their own brand. Their talent and skill have led them to win numerous prestigious awards throughout their careers, including five CFDA awards in different categories.

Now, they are preparing to take the creative reins of a great historic House, participating in an appointment that reinforces LOEWE‘s commitment to innovation, art and design excellence. Together they will work to preserve its legacy and offer the public unique and exclusive collections.

“We are incredibly honoured to join LOEWE, a House whose values and mission are so closely aligned with our own. We look forward to working alongside its extraordinary teams and artisans, whose talent-under the exceptional creative direction of Jonathan Anderson-has made LOEWE the cultural force it is today. We extend our sincere thanks to Bernard Arnault, Delphine Arnault, Sidney Toledano and Pascale Lepoivre for entrusting us with the next chapter of this remarkable House,” say McCollough and Hernandez.
