Fashion career profile
Jack McCollough
Jack McCollough is an American designer who shares Loewe’s creative direction with Lazaro Hernandez. The two met while studying at Parsons School of Design and turned their senior thesis into Proenza Schouler, the New York label they founded in 2002. McCollough helped build the house’s womenswear and accessories practice around craft, tailoring and contemporary-art references. Their early recognition included the 2004 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund and CFDA Womenswear Designer awards in 2007 and 2011. Loewe appointed the pair as its new creative directors in 2025, and they presented their first collection for the Spanish house that October. McCollough’s Loewe appointment is a shared creative remit, not a solo role separate from Hernandez’s. This profile preserves his own career record while making the partnership legible, connecting the current position to Loewe and the preceding shared design history to Proenza Schouler.
