Following in the footsteps of such designers as Stella McCartney and Jimmy Choo, French Fashion house Lanvin is the newest collaborators of H&M. Lanvin for H&M is fresh, flamboyant and affordable. The collection launched Saturday at 200 H&M stores worldwide including the Eaton’s Center, Yorkdale and Bloor Street. Take a look at creative director Alber Elbaz’s custom creations of the designs recently showcased on the runway in New York City.
20-year-old jeweler prodigy Shayan Afshar is the designer behind this elegant and sleek wrist candy. Presented by Levi-Maestro, this is the black version of Shayan’s Infinity Piece bracelet. This piece is so dope, the fact that it doesn’t seem to have hands that indicate the time, doesn’t faze me in the least bit (anyway, that’s what my blackberry is for) Available in December, this is a perfect Christmas present to turn up the swag notch on any holiday or new year’s outfit.
Have you noticed that almost every movie nowadays is in 3D? If you have forked over the 30+ dollars to see one of the hundred 3D movies currently playing in the theatres, you know that 3D glasses are far from flattering, albeit a step above the vintage red and blue paper variety. Nonetheless, they won’t be gracing the runaways at fashion week any time soon? Or will they? It seems some product executive at Gucci forecasted a demand in the 3D glasses market and decided to seize the opportunity to create a Gucci 3D glasses line. The glasses are suppose to enhance the 3D experience with the use of a mirrored coating that offers superior viewing and contrast enhancements. Additionally, the mirrored coating allows over 98% of visible light through making viewing in a cinema environment possible. Enhanced image quality and a reduction in glare is also achieved through an anti-reflective coating applied to the back of the lens. So, you can essentially go from the streets, to the theatre, back the streets, and still look fly. Of course that’s as long as you can pay the $225 USD price tag…guess I will stick to wearing the recyclable “Steve Urkel-esque” type!!
I NEED THIS A.S.A.P.
Think Hyundai’s 70-inch multitouch table concept is hot stuff? Have a gander at this. The Table Connect for iPhone is dangerously close to completion, with a full-on mockup shown above. Put simply, this 58-inch multitouch surface accepts iPhone 4 connections via a 30-pin Dock Connector, and with a bit of magic, the table becomes your iPhone. The crew is currently wrapping up an alpha software release, and while a jailbroken iPhone is obviously necessary to get things going, the end result is bound to be impressive. Or at least hilarious. Here’s hoping these eventually go on sale, but for now, feel free to hit the source link for one more shot and a slew of diagrams.
What will they think of next ?
It’s hard to believe that what we’re looking at is real — but we assure you, the picture above is in fact the PlayStation Phone you’ve long been waiting for. As we reported back in August, the device you see is headed into the market soon, likely boasting Android 3.0 (aka Gingerbread), along with a custom Sony Marketplace which will allow you to purchase and download games designed for the new platform. The device snapped up top (and in our gallery below) is sporting a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 (a chip similar to the one found in the G2, but 200MHz faster), 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM, and the screen is in the range of 3.7 to 4.1 inches. Looking almost identical to the mockup we hit you with this summer, the handset does indeed have a long touchpad in the center which is apparently multitouch, and you can see in the photos that it’s still bearing those familiar PlayStation shoulder buttons. For Sony buffs, you’ll be interested to know that there’s no Memory Stick slot here, but there is support for microSD cards.
What do you get when you mix Cognac, 5 Visual Artists, and 5 Musicians? You get the Hennessy Blending of the Arts, a celebration of art and music. More importantly, this fusion has created five unique works of art created on a less than traditional canvas, the iconic Hennessy VS bottle. The reinterpretation of the bottle was in turn commissioned by the likes of from left to right: Questlove and artist Aerosyn-Lex, A-Trak together with designer Dust La Rock, Steve Aoki and graphic artist Laundry aka PJ Richardson, Kid Sister with graffiti artist Fafi, and finally A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip with Spaceknuckle. Unfortunately the bottles will not be available commercially but were revealed at the Hennessy Artistry Halo Party October 14th in New York City.
Why?
The iida X-Ray Phone ($TBA). Designed by the renowned Tokujin Yoshioka, this CDMA flip phone is made from transparent polycarbonate infused with a glass fiber which allows you to see the components within, and also sports an exterior 7×102 dot-matrix LED sub-display that shows you who’s calling, the current time, and notifies you of incoming e-mail alerts, while the eight megapixel camera reminds you that you’re not really back in the days of see-through pagers.
I was thinking about getting the i pad but, after seeing this i have some decisions to make .WOW! (both)
MacBook Air 2 ($1,000-$1,700). Sporting 64GB-256GB of built-in solid state flash storage, the new MBA boots amazingly fast, wakes instantly from sleep, and offers Nvidia graphics, Intel Core 2 Duo processors, and incredibly thin Unibody aluminum enclosures. Available in the traditional 13.3″ model with an SD card slot and 1440 by 900 display, or in a new, smaller 11.6″ model with a 1366 by 768 display and a weight of just 2.3 pounds, or a little less than the power brick for your current laptop.
Another one !!!
This leviathan of Microsoft’s lastest handsets also boasts 16GB of internal storage, a 5-megapixel camera with auto focus, a dual LED flash, and 720p video recording, 576MB of RAM, a 3.5mm headphone port, a standard micro-USB port for charging, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, and service from T-Mobile. Luckily, it also features a built-in kickstand, which is good since your hand will no doubt tire from holding such a beast all day.
New shit!
It packs all the high-end design features that set a Vertu apart from more common mobile phones, but packs a full QWERTY keyboard and a wider screen to keep its user connected and in the loop.
For the Quest, Vertu has also introduced new features like Vertu Remote Assist that allows the tech support team on call ’round the clock to go into the phone and fix whatever’s not working. There’s also Vertu City Brief, providing users with fingertip access to information on whatever location they’re traveling to. All that and more, packed into a choice of stainless steel (matte or polished) or 18-karat gold case with a leather back and sapphire crystal screen.
