With celebrities and fashion girls alike fawning over Proenza Schouler's famous PS1 bag since its inception in 2008, it's safe to say the bag has become a "classic" in its own right. Now designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez have reinterpreted their iconic design into an amazing iPad case ($685) available in four eye-catching colors (red, purple, black, and smoke). Given, it's an investment, but think of it as a double-duty investment: you can use it as an iPad case and also as an oversized statement clutch when you're not toting around your electronics. The styling options are endless — pair it with a Summer maxi dress to a garden wedding or play into the downtown vibe and pair it with jeans, a white blazer, and metallic sneakers for a cool weekend look. Convinced? We are.

Proenza Schouler's Crafty Pre-Fall Collection
Proenza does a brilliant job of injecting sophisticated, urban chic styles with a hugely refreshing dose of bohemian craftiness. Designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez showed a Pre-Fall collection filled with ikat prints, multicolored woven textures, and warm stripes, all in styles we can wear around the city. We love the ready-to-wear, but what really got us going were the fantastic accessories (which include the PS1 in new colors). Brightly woven shoes? Yes, please!

Shopping: Colette Moves On From The PS1

As handsome as Proenza Schouler's now infamous PS1 handbag is, we were pleased to see forward-thinking Colette stocking other styles from the brand. After all, if there's anything the 80's taught us, it's not to pair strong shoulders with big handbags. Proenza Schouler might still be producing every variation of the PS1--even 14,000 dollar renderings--but they seem to know that smaller, more ornate styles might suit a specific customer as well.
