“Wow, walking away from their brand like this… I guess they’re very confident about their future at Loewe. It’s certainly a bold gamble.” [Marc10]
“I’m shocked! Did LVMH push them to make this move? Or perhaps they realize they can only channel their creative energy into Loewe?” [Salvatore]
“Ew, they’re really going to Loewe? I’m devastated right now. Can someone please unearth something scandalous or toxic about these designers to derail their move?” [GERGIN]
“So, this is really happening, isn’t it? Loewe is in such a fantastic position right now. I can’t believe they’d risk that success with a new creative direction. Yet, the idea of someone new at Proenza Schouler sounds thrilling. That brand is definitely overdue for a fresh perspective.” [GivenchyHomme]
“The devil works hard, but Anna Wintour works harder. The Proenza Schouler duo taking over at Loewe feels like a surprising appointment that no one anticipated.” [style_expert]
“They should just close Proenza Schouler altogether.” [helmutnotdead]
