Celebrities Choose Proenza Schouler PS1 Bags

The men behind Proenza Schouler love their mothers. After all, their fashion house is named after the women who raised them. Proenza Schouler began in 1998 as Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCoullough’s senior project at Parsons School of Design.

However, by the time they rolled out their first collection, it was snatched up by Barneys New York. In 2004, Proenza Schouler launched its first shoe collection with great reception.

Today, you will find the brand’s chunky sweaters, killer platform pumps, sophisticated eyewear and their first handbag line, PS1, inspired by a classic satchel, which has been modernized into a timeless version with lush leathers and chic shapes. That is PS1 handbags I would like to talk about now.

PS1 collection, which stands for The First Handbag Line from Proenza Schouler, includes bags of medium and large dimensions of different colors. The majority of them are made from leather, but there are some bags from suede. Let’s take a look at the details.

First of all, these urban looking satchels are perfect for Fall - Winter 2010/11, they feature gold hardware, a handle and detachable buckle shoulder strap, fold-over flap with lock and strap fastening. I personally love that the handle is detachable, and PS1 can be carried both on the shoulder and in the arm.

At the front part of the PS1 bag you can see large compartments, there is also one zipped compartment at back. If you look in inside you will see signature lining, a zipped compartment, press stud at top to fasten.

Fall 2010 Fringe Bags Are Coming Back

Fringe adorned accessories first came into fashion in 2008. As we perfectly now the world turns around, and some things tend to happen one more time. The same can be said about fringe bags. Among newly invented fashion trends, fringe detailing has found its place and returned on the peak of popularity.

Madonna and Victoria Beckham have them in their wardrobes; Rachel Bilson, Liz Hurley, Leona Lewis, Heidi Klum, the Olsen twins, Jessica Alba, Kate Hudson and Eva Longoria are all easily sporting fringes. By the way, this week I reviewed the Ralph Lauren Fringe in Kate Hudson Totes Everywhere her Ralph Lauren Fringe Bag.

The variety of fringe bags is incredible and that is a huge advantage as every fashion lover is free to choose a bag according to their personal preferences and needs. Every fringe bag is unique. They have only one feature in common – chic, youth and feminine look. Below are the most popular designer fringe bags of the season.

Check for JJ Winters specials at:

Nanette Lepore Twisted Fringe Hobo. That is the most unusual fringe bag I have seen. This metallic-leather handbag features twisted suede and metallic-leather fringe and nylon lining at the front and back. Quilting and fringe at sides. Brass hardware. Twisted shoulder strap and zip main compartment closure. Divided, print-lined interior features zip pocket and 2 patch pockets.

Melie Bianco ‘Dakota’ Fringe Faux Leather Hobo is another extravagant offer. Shining goldtone chains peek from the swingy fringe that lends movement to a slouchy faux-leather hobo topped with a single wrapped handle.

JJ Winters can be by right considered the most successful brand selling fringe bags as the majority of celebrities that you see in the picture tote JJ Winter bags. They look magnificent, do not they? Any fringe bag will add you some romantic yet youth look, so do not waste time.

It’s not exactly a new trend as we could see rare examples in the previous seasons but it seems to be reaching its peak at fast fashion chains.

We have got used that celebrities are trendsetters, and most fashion lovers follow every detail, outfit and accessory the star wears to imitate the style later on. Now in the limelight if our attention is Kate Hudson who definitely loves the latest fashion trend of wearing fringe bags.

It’s rare to see celebrities carry the same bag over and over again, but Kate Hudson sure has picked a winner. The tinseltown cutie is often seen out and about sporting this gorgeous hippie-chic Ralph Lauren Suede Fringe Bag. I suggest that we have a closer look at the designer bag.
