“A million different colors, suede, leather, rubberized python, crocodile special-order,” rattled off Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough Thursday night at Il Buco, where he and partner Lazaro Hernandez hosted a dinner to celebrate their new handbag line. It was inevitable really, McCollough noted. “Whenever we’re doing our drawings for collections, the girls always have bags on their hands, shoes on their feet, sunglasses on their faces,” he explained. “It kind of completes the look.” Nearby, Simon Doonan (Barneys played co-host) indulged in some horn-tooting before dinner was served. “It’s utterly luscious and utterly exquisite,” he cooed, stroking a white python clutch from the PS1 line. “That whole thing of those girls on Gossip Girl carrying gigunda purses, that’s very déjà,” Doonan sniffed, barely noticing Proenza-ites Chloë Sevigny and Mary-Kate Olsen filtering past. “All that hellish rummaging, and there are, like, terrorists living in them.”

Kimair, I created a Proenza topic as well, sorry. Could you either delete it or merge it with this one? Thanks.

threads merged...

i love the one m-k has, but i'm also intrigued by the one that's the east-west...
vogue had an article and pic about them last month...

I like this bag already! It's not very feminine! But I don't like the price. £1200?? WOW

The two bags in that pic are PS, right?

I think the Proenza Schouler SS09 bags are horrible, the materials look terrible, a few of them have really vague detailing and they look hardly practical, especially the one Anna Maria Jagziska is holding.

the black python is great!
because they are quite a conservative design i think they need a better fabrication, like crazier leathers or fabrics. More texture!

giving one to mk is probably one of the best marketing strategies ever in handbag history.
