Trend on Sport-Chic There is no first year. Remember, once we were officially allowed to wear sneakers with dresses, and before that they were perceived as athletes shoes. Now such a transformation is experiencing a backpack - one of the most comfortable models of bags. Let's follow what path he passed and how fashionable.
Perhaps, there is little thing to boast of such a serious age, and in the case of a backpack everything is officially: in 1991, at the Siemilaun glacier in the Alps, two German tourists found the mummy of the Tyrolean man. All his things, including the skeleton frame from Oshestn, are perfectly preserved under the thickness of the ice. The researchers found out that the owner of SKARBA was killed at about 3300 BC, so that his poverty cotton today is over five thousand years. Scientists even recreated this simple adaptation from several crossbars and a bag of skins - now it is exhibited in the Museum of Natural History Dortmund.
On male shoulders, this bag was not good. Initially, it was precisely the strong floor that a socially active role was assigned - to be hunters, shepherds or merchants. So the belongings needed to wear with the convenience. This simple design turned out to be extremely necessary and was actively used in different nations. In the Russian north, braided cats with straps were used. In the middle strip - a cloak body for mushrooms and berries. Similar wings in Siberia are used to this day. Medieval European baskets were hanging behind the back to work in the field. In Germany and France, loaded cargo on wooden frames from the XVIII century. So it is impossible to say that some people the first came up with wearing things behind the shoulders - everyone was invented their versions.
Warfare
Much later, in the era of active military conquests, the backpack was seen in the Roman legionnaires and knights-Templar, and in a not much changed form: in the Templars, for example, he represented the same frame made of wood with straps.
At about the same time, the North American Indians showed much more ingenuity: their bag was a board, which was attached to his back with his shoulders with straps, and additionally, a soft leather belt was thrown onto the forehead. As a result, the load was distributed evenly, and such a design allowed to carry extremely heavy loads, which was useful both on the hunt, and in hostilities.
With the development of industry, wooden and leather elements were replaced with steel and fabric.

But for all time with the soldiers' shoulders, this accessory will not go anywhere, and it became especially popular at the beginning of the XIX century. It was then precisely from a variety of versions of punched bags. Unlike our usual backpack, he loaded on the side. However, just a few years it became clear that such bags were uncomfortable during trench fighting. I had to look for an alternative. Therefore, during World War II, an industrial backpack brought by the Americans began to spread in Europe. He accommodate personal items, objects of hygiene, dishes, bedding, dry laces. Aviator had even parachute there.
Sport, you are a world!
After the war, the convenience of this thing was estimated athletes and tourists. The first climbers used military models in their campaigns. First, the design was elementary - a simple rectangular cut bag with a rope sewn to the bottom corners. The top was going to self-tight loop.
But progress did not stand still. So, in 1908, Norwezhec Ola Bergan came up with a machine backpack. This invention pushed him off the discomfort, which he experienced when carrying equipment and game during the hunt - the cargo crashed into the back, causing pain. Oh, once Ole bent the juniper branch inside the bag, forming the likeness of the frame. She was patented in 1909. Bergans quickly became the leading manufacturer of braid bags.
However, in twenty-five years, the patent ended, and comfortable backpacks scattered around the world, and new inventors continued to change them and improve them. The road of further evolution opened new materials and technologies. So, the American Veteran Gerald Canningm in 1938 came up to use lightning. A comfortable fastener allowed to change the form of a backpack, efficiently redistribute weight.
The author of the waist belt, carrying part of the load on the hips, became the tourist Dick Kelty in 1951. The idea came when he accidentally placed the feet of the frame in the rear pockets of the trousers and realized how much it was so easier to wear. Equipment for tourism, he acquired in the stores of old military equipment. There, since the Second World War, a lot of parachute fabric remained - Nylon, who had an uncomfortable American immediately replaced uncomfortable tarpaulin. In 1952, Kelty created an equipment manufacturing company. With backpacks of this company in 1963, Everest conquered the team of climbers Norman Dierenfut and Jim Whitaker.
But the backpacks lived in a single sport. The city's urban versions were distributed in the seventies. Among youth went fashion for light colorful casual cloak bags. Then the trend picked up schoolchildren. At first they went to the lessons with briefcases, and then they were supplied by models from synthetic fabric with comfortable clasp.

Native fenats
In our country, the first books began to produce in the thirties. These were shapeless rounded bags that are nicknamed by the people. The clumsy and extremely uncomfortable, they, however, turned out to be extremely survivors and even still remained in the course of some dac.
A robcake of Abalakova, created for sports campaigns and climbing, called by the name of his inventor - the famous Soviet mountaineers Vitaly Abalakova, came to replace the ball. Vitaly Mikhailovich worked as the designer of the Moscow Institute of Visi and the first made climbing the peak of communism. "Abalak" was good, but had shortcomings: did not fit a sufficient number of things, got intoxicated from the rain and became "wooden" in the frost. Alpinists personally had to refuse disadvantages.
Fortunately, Soviet tourists were big fantasies and at the time of the deficit, the bags from the girlfriend were modernized: so, in the campaign it was possible to even meet a backpack with a frame collected from aluminum tubes of an old clamshell.
Fashionable wave
The excitement around this thing in the world of fashion first happened in 1984, when a novice designer Machche Prada presented her black nylon interpretation with a brilliant logo. It was the first attempt to rethink the fate of this accessory, which soon became a symbol of freedom from conventions. The backpack was an indispensable satellite of the "Nirvana" generation, which consciously went against fashion trends. Cleverly combining him with rooks and ripped jeans, the youth of the end of the eighties and the beginning of the nineties made it part of his subculture.

In the past, he would have stayed, but the fashionors remembered a convenient bag for several seasons back. Backpacks were presented in many podium collections. Louis Vuitton offered to wear them with a strict coat and leather trousers, Anya Hindmarkch - with a warm sweater, Fendi - with a skirt and a serpent, and in Moschino even managed to adapt them to a small black dress in the spirit of Coco Chanel. The army of designers threw all his strength to reanimate the reputation of the accessory on the straps and turn it into an elegant detail of the wardrobe. With the help of prints, stripes and sequins, they forced the girls to fall in love with the backpacks and start wearing them with absolutely any clothes.
Which only materials do not go to the move: denim, suede, velvet and even crocodile skin. So, the model of a round form of calm color perfectly fit into the style of Casual, and the geometrical print will dilute monochromatic clothes. And it will fit in it much more things: cosmetic bag, smartphone and even sneakers for a hike on fitness. That is why they displacing familiar bags, correctly distributing the load on the back, and free their hands.
The backpack has long become a kind of form of expression of his own "I". With the help of drawings, of course. This season, screaming slogans are placed on them, funny emoticons, optical illusions and, of course, flowers, topical in spring.
Summing up, we note that if you have no stylish urban backpack, now it's time to get to them, because modern life at high speeds displays comfort and functionality to the fore. We add to them an interesting design, high quality and practicality - and we get a thing that will serve you for many years. And if you judge the recent views and images of girls - fashion legislation, it becomes clear that this trend on them is not going anywhere on them for a very long time.
