Rick Owens + Eastpak = Too Cool for School

rick owens spring 09 on conterato.jpgPerhaps Rick Owens’ animal clutches were just a warm up to designing accessories in jest.

The American in Paris has signed a deal with Eastpak, of junior high and hiking fame, to design a collection of fifteen bags (plus a unisex raincoat) under his denim brand, Dark Shadow.

If Raf Simons’ previous collections for Eastpak are any indication, you can expect the Rick backpacks to cost at least $100 each, making you the most subversive (yet well-packed) kid in the hallway.

At least, if high school kids even carry backpacks anymore - Do they?

Young Parisians LOVE Eastpaks. Literally everyone wears a combo of a leather bomber or a Moncler with their Eastpak.

Actually most kids still use backpacks. If they actually want to be able to carry all their books without ripping their arms off.
