Proenza Schouler co-founders Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez are the ones to watch. As well as a debut fragrance, the designers recently announced that their spring-summer 2018 collection will show during Paris Couture Week instead of at New York Fashion Week—a savvy retail initiative. For a well-deserved vacation, the duo decamps to the Hawaiian island of Kauai.

KEY PHRASES TO KNOW: "Aloha and mahalo come in handy."

WHERE TO STAY: Private-house rental on Hanalei Bay—always.

LUGGAGE BRAND: Filson (6).

FAVORITE RESTAURANTS: Sushi Girl for to-go lunches (2), Pat’s Taqueria on Hanalei Pier, and Bar Acuda—the macadamia-nut ice-cream dessert is reason enough to have dinner here.

WHAT TO DRINK: Cold beer on the beach. We’re also suckers for margaritas wherever we go (5).

WHAT TO WEAR: A Patagonia wetsuit in winter and Patagonia or Nike shorts in summer.

CAN’T BE MISSED: A boat trip on the Napali Coast, a helicopter ride over the island (4), and hikes through Waimea Canyon and to the magic Hanakapi’ai waterfalls.

FAVORITE STORE: Hanalei Harvest Market makes the best smoothies on the island.

HIDDEN GEM: An artist community called Hanapepe Town (3), where we check out local artists and artisans at work.

SECRET HIDEAWAY: Maha’ulepu Beach—our favorite secluded beach.

LOCAL WORKOUT: In the water, on your surfboard (1).

HOLIDAY SOUNDTRACK: Classic Hawaiian-steel-guitar records.

MUST-KNOW LOCAL RULE: Respecting the property and space of the locals is paramount. Kauai is a dream because it’s so pure and it’s everyone’s responsibility to make sure it stays so.
