Technology Goes Uber Chic: From Cell Phones, Bluetooth Headsets to Flat Screens

Posted on 26 May 2008 by Jacqueline H

Technology. These days we can’t live without it. Were computer dependent - as well as fashion dependent (we can’t forget that!). From cell phones, the internet, and of course the transition of technology to fashion. Who would have thought hey! That these techno geeks needed a little flair. A little fun, yes, for fashion. It’s seems as though they felt - ‘left behind’. From your LG flat screens, Bluetooth headsets, and Samsung cell phones. Are all getting a little prêt-a-porter from the designer hand.

LG Flat Screens Scarlet Edition
Smoking hot model Natissa Malthe is the face of the new LG flat screens aptly named ‘Scarlet’.

Natassia Malthe - spokes model for the LG flat screens
Natassia Malthe - fashionable spokes model for the LG flat screens

Yes, we were all fooled by the ads for the ‘Scarlet’ series, which turned out to be the latest flat screen collection from LG. The smoking hot model-actress Natassia Malthe was beautifully used as the spokes model to head start the campaign.

Armani for Samsung
Giorgio get’s connected with Samsung

Fashion label Giorgio Armani revealed their first mobile phone together with Samsung in Milan. The Giorgio Armani touch screen phone carries the designer’s name and offers a 2.6 inch screen and a 3MP camera.

Dolce & Gabbana for Motorola

But that’s nothing; check out this D&G phone. Motorola teamed up with Dolce & Gabbana to debut a swank, gold and silver Razor phone. Very hot.

Today’s Couture - London Designer Stella McCartney

Posted on 23 May 2008 by Jacqueline H

Stella McCartney rocks. With everything under her belt, this innovative designer went from local London hype to an international name.

Stella McCartney

The Stella MCartney line has an array of collections. From beauty products, womens fashions, lingerie, handbags, shoes, and accessories. She even has a sports line for international sports icon - Adidas. Her world is full of creativity and blossoms at every corner. But I guess creativity runs in the family - with a father who started the biggest band in history ‘The Beatles’ - Sir Paul McCartney.

Stella McCartney
Fashion Designer Stella McCartney

Her clothes are fresh, with clean simple designs. Her fabrics are smooth and soft, highlighted with colors that accent the shape of the clothes.

Stella McCartney
Stella McCartney Collection

Here are a few of my other favorites from the Stella McCartney Collection.

Stella McCartney
Stella McCartney Collection

Young, hip, and chic. This very sporty look is clearly clever in design and very beautiful.

Stella McCartney Fragrance

The Velvet collection is beautiful with amethyst glass. And with scents of amber and rose.

With a great design house under Gucci, and a superb fashionable future. Stella we want you to contine to rock on.
