Sang A Im-Propp

While ready-to-wear designers are hunkered down in their studios preparing for the upcoming fashion week, accessory gurus have some time to bask in the sun—and praise. Today handbag designer Sang A Im-Propp joins the insightful Listmakers crew. The Korea-born, New York-based Propp—who recently scored a Samsung award & grant for her forward-thinking styles, thank you very much—is best known for her sculptural exotic skin bags as well as being one of Manhattan’s best-dressed residents.

With a nod to her artistic inclinations, she lists off her Top 5 Favorite Sculptors. Not familiar with all? Get thee to Artnet or–if in the NYC area–to Cooper Hewitt, where an illuminating exhibition on #3 is currently on view.

Top 5 Sculptors:

1. Ellsworth Kelly
2. Roberto Mora
3. Ingo Maurer
4. Jim Campbell
5. Richard Serra
