Ode to the Fanny Pack
My parents used to send me to New Mexico each summer to visit my grandparents. They'd arm me with a tiny backpack and a fanny pack, in which they tucked crisp bills in case I needed anything. They warned me never to take the fanny pack off, but I didn't want to anyway--I knew it was the ultimate fashion statement.

I spotted something that looked alarmingly like a purse for the pelvis in photographs of the Miss Sixty fashion show at New York's Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.

Some looks are best left in the past. It's awfully hard to pull off a fanny pack without looking like a pitifully ironic hipster--but more power to you if you rock it well.
