Designers have tried over the past few seasons to bring back the fanny pack. Despite their best efforts and reinvention of this tried-and-true accessory, men have not taken the bait. Could this time around be different?
During the recent Milan Fashion Week, brands such as Ferragamo, Canali and Versace put forward upscale versions of this ’90s staple that, in some cases, looked different enough from the original that they may do a better job of persuading male shoppers that it’s a forward looking accessory.
This season, almost every men’s runway collection either focused or lent itself to travel: Prada had technicoloured hikers, Moncler Gamme Bleu’s models could have been mistaken for American Boy Scouts and Gucci’s collection took us on a journey of fantastic world adventures.
