We are in different time and era, no longer like 8 years ago, but it’s not difficult to sense the potential there. The new born handbag line launched by Proenza Schoulder is being talked about alot. Namely PS1, the 1st creation designed by Jack McCollough and partner Lazaro Hernandez has just been officially launched with a party thrown by Barneys NY. The duo has sent this bag to close friends and hip chicks in town, Vanessa Traina for one (was a good choix); a trick that Balenciaga used when they launched Lariat the motorcycle 8 years ago. It certainly does has its charm and is working. PS1 although looks a bit like YSL Besace in shape, but PS team has their NYC charisma for sure, and I see theirs got all the elements needed for a US designer handbag line work after Marc Jacobs.
