It's in the bag

It is often said you are what you eat, so surely the same can be said about what you wear.

But how can your personality show through when you are at school wearing the same uniform as everyone else?

For starters, your school bag can speak volumes.

It can be loud or timid, large or small ... maybe just like your personality.

To American model Aaron Ziegler, bags, including school bags, are more than just functional accessories.

'Yes, while they have to be functional, form is more important these days. We are visually stimulated and influenced by advertisements, movies and computers,' he said.

'Because we live in a visually stimulated society, we tend to judge people by what they wear and what they have,' said Ziegler, now living in Hong Kong.
