Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez Are Loewe's New Creative Directors

Loewe announced big news on Monday morning, and the rumors were true: Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez (who founded Proenza Schouler in 2002 and departed early 2025) will lead the Spanish brand as its new co-creative directors.

‘We are incredibly honored to join Loewe, a house whose values and mission align closely with our own," the new creative directors said in a statement. They will begin their new roles April 7, responsible from all things Loewe from womenswear to menswear and accessories. Their debut collection will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of Paris Fashion Week this fall.

The LVMH-owned fashion house only revealed its last creative director's departure exactly one week prior: Jonathan Anderson led Loewe for 11 years during which he transformed the brand in both aesthetics and finances (while running his own eponymous label, JW Anderson).

"We look forward to working alongside its extraordinary teams and artisans, whose talent—under the exceptional creative direction of Jonathan Anderson—has shaped Loewe into the cultural force it is today. We extend our sincere gratitude to Bernard Arnault, Delphine Arnault, Sidney Toledano, and to Pascale Lepoivre for entrusting us with this remarkable house’s next chapter," McCollough and Hernandez, who met and trained at the Parsons School of Design, continued in their statement.

The handover from Anderson to the American duo marks a shift in Loewe's evolution. While the Irish designer redefined the 179-year-old brand's DNA by merging exceptional craftsmanship with joyful surrealism, his successors will likely bring their own flavor of modern sensibility. McCollough and Hernandez's work tends to be rooted in minimalist sophistication and rigorous tailoring.
