International Fanny Pack Day

New - well forgotten old This rule applies to fashion movements and trends that tend to return from oblivion in the fashion industry So, in 2012-2013 Girls with fanny packs once again appeared on the catwalks The peak of popularity of this accessory occurred in the mid-90s XX century The waist bag was worn not only by fans of dance rave parties, but also by trade workers and tourists, who kept documents and money in it The accessory owes its resurrection 20 years later to designer Donna Karan In her spring/summer 2013 collection, she used a fanny pack to create a dynamic look for the modern city girl In the DKNY youth collection, the fashion accessory is supported by baseball caps, military-style dresses and trouser suits US stylist and designer Rachel Zoe made a miniature waist bag an element of a bohemian look in the spirit of 70s California chic Lacoste, Gucci, Jeremy Scott and other brands used the sports accessory in their collections The fanny pack is so popular among men and women of all ages that it deserves a holiday created in its honor International Fanny Pack Day owes its appearance in 2007 to American Nick Yates from Roland, Oregon According to legend, an American was coming from a Christmas party where he was given a fruit pie and a fanny pack as a gift On the way to the bus stop, Yates met a homeless man The man who gave him the pie and the bag thought about the injustice of the world and the problem of hunger on a global scale The meeting inspired Nick Yates to launch an annual charity campaign to distribute food to those in need Volunteers deliver food for low-income and homeless people in fanny packs, emphasizing that this accessory is not just a fashion statement Thanks to hands-free bags, thousands of people in homeless shelters, nursing homes and other places receive food So, since 2008, every second Saturday of March is celebrated as International Fanny Pack Day The authorship of the fanny pack is attributed to Australian Melcha Stone She was inspired by kangaroo pockets to create a fanny pack in 1962 However, it is known that back in 1952, the Austrian edition of Sports Illustrated offered its readers to order a “light leather bag” for Christmas, in which skiers could put a jar of wax and a lunch box when climbing the mountain slopes Ironically, decades after storing documents, money, perfume, smartphones and other items, fanny packs began to be used for their original purpose On the second Saturday of March, all people who care about other people's troubles in different countries of the world put food and lunch boxes with food in their belt bags to warm the needy with care and feed the hungry
