What to know about Proenza Schouler
The PS1 satchel built the house
Founded in 2002 by two Parsons graduates, the label made its name on bags — the PS1 satchel above all — before its clothing.
Under entirely new creative leadership
Founders Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez left in January 2025 to run Loewe; Rachel Scott of Diotima takes over, debuting with fall 2026.
Tailoring and outerwear, not logos
The ready-to-wear rests on tailored separates, tweed and leather outerwear and draped dresses, priced at the top of the New York luxury tier.
How Proenza Schouler fits
Overall fit
mixed
Shoppers generally describe Proenza Schouler as designer-proportioned rather than standard — soft pieces and outerwear read oversized and drapey while structured tailoring can feel snug and closely cut, so experience varies by garment.
Tip: Take your usual size in the relaxed cut-and-sew and outerwear, but try tailored jackets and structured pieces on first as they can be cut narrow through the shoulder and chest.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly large | loose and fluid rather than fitted | Take your normal size and expect a deliberately roomy, unstructured drape. |
| Trousers & pants | mixed | often high-rise with either a wide or a sharply tapered leg depending on the season | Order your usual waist but budget for hemming, as inseams tend to run long. |
| Jackets | slightly small | structured tailoring with a defined, narrow shoulder; leather and tweed pieces sit closer to the body | Consider sizing up if you plan to layer or have a broader chest and shoulders. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly large | relaxed, slightly boxy jersey cut | Stay with your usual size, or size down if you want it to sit close to the body. |
