SNOK! Approved: Fanny Pack Class of '09

One of my first loves of NY Fashion Week this year: the "waist bag" from Rachel Comey. Yes, it may have some distant relation to the fanny pack of yore, but when was the last time you saw a suede fanny pack, or one on the runway, ever? A few years back American Apparel attempted to reinstate the fanny pack as a cutesy hipster retro-ism and failed. It was too soon. It was too similar. It was too neon. But now might just be the right time, and the right reinterpretation to resurrect this hands-free wonder.
