Miley’s tried to convince us of many things in the last year: that a foam finger can be sexy; that lingerie made of latex is work appropriate and that two hairy Rugrat horns should be a globally recognised hairstyle. Now 2014 is upon her and she’s at it again – this time focusing on gym gear. (Well, it is January). Miley went out jogging with her bull dog, Ziggy, yesterday casually wearing a vintage Chanel backpack, worth oh, you know, just about two grand.
Ridiculous, yes. And yet, the thing is, we’re kinda sold. Ok, not on the running bit – bogies, sweat and all sorts get onto our gym kit on the two days a month we actually use it – but on the vintage backpack bit. For hands-free clubbing and two-handed touchscreen access (thanks for making it a bitch to type with one hand, Steve Jobs) backpacks have long ruled.
Our Herschel one has served us well, but maybe 2014 is the year to add to expand our rucksack collection to include some golden oldies. If Chanel’s looking unlikely given this month’s rent’s still to pay, may we suggest Burberry check, Louis Vuitton logo or a nylon Prada backpack, which was the ‘It bag’ of 1995. Also the year of Alanis Morisette’s Ironic. Ironically.
