Last Paris Fashion Week, as rumors swirled that Loewe wunderkind Jonathan Anderson was headed to Dior, Proenza Schouler founders and designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez landed in Paris. It’s standard procedure for American designers who show in New York to spend time in Paris afterward; most store buyers—especially non-American ones—save the bulk of their budgets for Paris, and designers from around the globe set up showrooms across the city to ensure they aren’t forgotten. But I heard Jack and Laz, as their friends call them, were in town to interview for the Loewe job. Even back in October, folks were convinced that, after months—years?—of speculation, a decision had been made, and that Jonathan Anderson would leave the brand for Dior.
