The story of Proenza Schouler really begins in 1999, when
Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough met at Parsons School
of Design, after tinkering in different fields. Hernandez
is originally from Miami—Cuban Miami. Though he had
fallen in love with fashion while observing the clients in
his mother’s beauty salon, he went to college with the thought
of becoming a doctor. McCollough grew up in suburban New Jersey,
and as much as he liked to sew, it was with the intention
of becoming a glass blower that he enrolled in the San Francisco
Art Institute...(excerpted from "Two Stylish"
by Amy Larocca)
