It-bags, while not quite as flashy these days as their Baguette ancestors, are definitely still thriving. Much like the new It-girls, they’re more simply adorned and low-key. But despite a lower profile–and lack of logos plastered all over–they’re still very much a thing.
D&G Heart the Biebs: Dolce & Gabbana, Justin Bieber’s favorite red carpet designers, threw a party for the tween icon after his concert in Milan. “It might be slightly premature to talk about a style icon, but it’s impossible to deny that he’s a model for his peers,” said Domenico Dolce. {Telegraph}

More PS1 Gear to Covet: Proenza Schouler has added a full sized wallet called the “PS1 Continental Wallet” to the PS1 accessories family. {ProenzaSchouler.com}
Looks like Target’s knockoff of the PS1 wasn’t as convincing as we thought. Lovely reader Stephanie just sent us this picture from one of the big box retailer’s Long Island locations. As if it weren’t cheap enough, the satchel has been marked down by 20% from $31.99 to $23.99.
Proenza Schouler’s PS1 became an instant “it bag.” As such, it’s been knocked off countless times. We’ve devoted several “Adventures in Copyright” to PS1 knockoffs, including ones by Gap, Zara and some label called Navoh.
Cathy Horyn noticed that the fashion blogosphere was buzzing about Target label Mossimo’s take on the PS1 (which is pretty good). The knockoff was brought to the attention of designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, when McCoullugh’s sister emailed her brother a photo of the bag from her local Target.
