January 15, 2010 2:28 pm
We love Proenza Schouler’s ready-to-wear collections, of course, but there’s no denying that Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez also know their way around an accessory—maybe you’ve heard of an omnipresent little bag called the PS1? At the duo’s winning pre-fall collection, we were gaga for the bags and shoes. Check out a few of our favorite things, below.
My vote goes to the paper-bag tote. Jack and Lazaro said the leather’s been treated and trimmed to look like a little kid’s brown-bag lunch; they were thinking J.D. Salinger and The Catcher in the Rye. I’m thinking very practical, but very cool at the same time.

Adding glitter to a casual open-toe sandal makes for an out-of-the-ordinary evening shoe, and blue and black is one of my favorite color combinations. Hidden platforms inside promise to bring some comfort—but for these, I’d bear the pain anyway.

The low wedge is the next big shape in footwear, and the Dr. Martens-inspired detailing is genius. These boots might not be as timeless as the black ten-eyes I’ve had since middle school, but they’ll get me through the upcoming season just fine.

That brown bag is adorable! Most useful thing since the beginning of time… [why? it dresses down a good number of OTT things for self-deprecating day use.]
