Gone are the days where backpacks are limited solely for school, hiking or travelling. These days, backpacks are making a major fashion comeback and are more chic than ever!
Our backpack of choice? JanSport. Grazia photographer, Fashion editor and digital ed are all about backpacks on weekends and often at work during the week, so we decided to take a sneak peek into their back packs:
Our super chic and always on trend photographer, Roxanne, is always on the move, from shooting on the streets to shooting models for the mag. Roxanne, has so much equipment to carry around as well as her own stuff-so instead of carrying lots of small bags, she’s decided to join the fashpack and grab a backpack for all her daily necessities.
Grazia fashion ed, Marishka, is always out sourcing, styling and off to events, so her backback has become her new bff. “Besides being bang on trend at the moment, I love that I can keep a spare pair of heels, and accessories in my bag for an event after a long day of shooting for the mag”.
Grazia’s digital ed, Saskia, is always online, whether she’s in the office or at a coffee shop. “My trusty Jansports backpack is practical in my line of work because it’s big enough to contain my laptop, and the extra pockets are perfect for keeping my go-to lipstick and accessories for after work drinks with the girls”
