As if this brand isn’t completely, soullessly corporate enough already: The owners designing for another brand, while a hired hand is overseeing their own brand LMFAO

If they closed this brand, would anyone— even their customers, miss it?

Congratulations to her again.
This brand is a blank page to me.

"Her profound understanding of Proenza Schouler’s brand codes..."

Well, you don´t need to understand more beyond copying Phoebe´s Céline and Nico´s Balenciaga!!

The irony I look forward to seeing is Rachel actually making Proenza Schouler even more successful and desirable than what the OG’s could when they founded the name…

Exactly this. Despite the obvious influences, Rachel Scott actually has a POV, something that her predecessors severely lacked.

I am excited to see what she will do for the brand and a woman designing clothes for women? Shocking!

I actually don’t think anyone would care if this brand went away. But kudos to her on the position.
Probably gets to work with a bigger budget than at her own brand at least.

Vogue has her listed in the designers debut Class of SS 2026. They don’t seriously except her to debut a collection in a week do they????

Don't worry, that's for the runway debut for her own label, Diotima, next week. As for Proenza, that's slated for February.

Why is there a need to keep this brand afloat when their designers jumping to another brand? PS belongs to an era of NYFW designers no one will remember in the future.

The red flag for me was how the duo just hastily left Proenza Schouler for Loewe instead of doing both like JWA did. They didn't even do a swan song or anything. That's a sign that they don't even see the brand as valuable enough to stay at.

Who even made PS famous? I seem to remember Alexa Chung and her unremarkable ilk were quite fond of it.

I think it’s a good show for Ashley to debut new girls in. But that about all haha
