Perhaps 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?
