Do you remember the early days of Youtube vloggers and the "what's in my bag" posts? Those were (and still are!) some of my favorite type of videos. Call me nosy but, I find it fascinating what people carry around as part of the essentials. So when I came across this site (thanks to this other site) where 100 creative types (bloggers, editors, designers, artists, etc.) had their essential bag contents photographed, I was immediately immersed in intrigue. You can sum up what kind of person someone is by what they carry. The contents are photographed in that ever-so-effortless-but-very-constructed-composition way.
The real goal of the site was to showcase Daniel Eckler's Kickstarter to build "A Better Backpack" (developed by MIJLO). The site helped achieve the fundraising goal to construct a pack that will "last a lifetime." The concept derives from the the fact that the runway-to-rack process is happening faster and faster, which feeds a temporary and disposable consumerism cycle. MIJLO doesn't feel that fashion needs to be disposable in that way and owning something classic, like this backpack, will help change the cycle.

Interesting, but I can't believe people have mugs in their backpacks, and not even the portable kind! Ha, this post makes my purse's contents seem so boring!
ReplyDeleteInteresting post. I like the way the contents are presented and of course the colourful one is from the Art Director as you might expect!
ReplyDeleteI love these compositions! It's amazing how different each one can be from one another. It really encompasses a persona. I am inspired to do my own now! Thanks for sharing :) xo
ReplyDeletethese flatlays are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing- I'm inspired :D
ReplyDeleteI've actually done 2 what's in my bag posts on the Muse. Still love them! These pictures are great. I just don't know how people fit so much into their backpacks. I'd have total back pain for sure. :)
ReplyDeleteOooh what a cool project to do! I do find it fascinating to see what people carry around :)
