Photo courtesy of Metropolitan HomeThe June 2009 issue of Metropolitan Home grabbed my attention within the first few pages, and here's why. They showcased this great new item: Fashion designer "Vivienne Tam's models strutted down the runway carrying what appeared to be sleek clutches that matched their couture."
This is what onlookers saw:

These "clutches" are slim HP notebook computers in a peony pattern and designed by Vivienne Tam! Technology in disguise! Here's a closer look:

Tam said that she chose the peonies because they are the most beautiful flowers and have many layers of unfolding blossoms, much like the layers of a busy woman's life; helping to juggle the demands of home and office, but reminding you of what's beautiful and feminine in your life. I like it!
This is what the laptop side looks like:
The enter key includes the Chinse symbol for double happiness - which I think suits this particular laptop to a T. Technology and beauty in one!

ReplyDeleteHi Carma! Wouldn't it be great if they did have different designs like this to choose from. Although, I'm sure it's not that far off!

Nancy - I'm sure that technology and fashion will catch up someday! Although, it did take quite some time for them to figure out those bulky televisions!
