When styling a fashion shoot, I’ll often be found wearing a bumbag (aka fanny pack; aka belt-bag; aka utility belt) to carry all the on-set essentials I need to create that perfect shot (read: scissors, double-sided tape, safely pins, tamari almonds… you get the idea).

This is much to the amusement of pretty much everyone else in the crew, as bumbags have historically been the source of much ridicule and derision… until now!

I’m so pleased to report that all this is now firmly behind me, thanks to the genius of Alessandro Michele and his talented peeps over at Gucci.

Just look how cute this Gucci belt-bag looks, cinching in the waist of that handsome blazer.

Keen to get a closer look?
