Jack McCollough & Lazaro Hernandez Are Leaving Proenza Schouler!

This just in! Proenza Schouler creative directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez are leaving their brand. The duo’s exit comes after running their label since 2002, with a range of hit it-bags and celebrity fans under their belt. Rumor has it that McCollough and Hernandez are heading to Loewe, succeeding current creative director Jonathan Anderson, who is rumored to be heading to Dior. However, there’s plenty of unanswered questions remaining: whether the pair are taking the Loewe job, who will succeed them at Proenza, and if they’ll be present for their brand’s upcoming boutique opening in Soho next month?

Lisa & Saoirse Ronan Front First Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2025 Campaign

La la Lisa, can you teach me French? Blackpink and The White Lotus star Lisa, alongside fellow fashion muse Saoirse Ronan, are front and center in Louis Vuitton‘s Spring 2025 campaign. Inspired by the spirit of travel and the arts, the pair are photographed in portrait imagery by Steven Meisel—complete with painting-like artwork by Laurent Grasso. With puffed sleeves, dangling bejeweled necklaces, sharply draped coats, and cutout heels, the images merge creative director Nicolas Ghesquière’s flair for both futurism and Renaissance-era romance. Naturally, there’s also cameos from the brand’s latest accessories—including its newest rounded shoulder bag and signature Soft Trunk bag!
