The Pack is Back

Adele Nicholas

Few accessories are so universally reviled as the fanny pack. But like it or not, that mischance of late-1980s fashion was back in a big way at Lollapalooza 2007.

Some sported the pack with a hint of hipster irony; others just wanted to have their hands free to throw them up for Rhymefest. These Lolla attendees rocked the fanny pack with pride.
