I love it when tech shows up in fashion, which is why I always keep my eyes peeled when Fashion Week rolls around. Just because I love following tech trends, doesn't mean I don't love fashion - but I especially love it when they both join forces! Here are some of my favorite tech fashion partnerships from previous years.

Models Staying Connected At Fashion Week

GeekSugar — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 13:00:25 -0800

With Paris Fashion Week just wrapping up, I thought I'd take the time to honor all the smartphones, mobiles and gadgets backstage at the shows. These pics prove that even amidst all the action and wardrobe changes, models need to stay connected too! I'd like to think these phones are used for game playing, but I doubt it. By the looks of it, the ladies like to keep a phone handy for picture snapping and chit-chatting. What do you think models used before cell phones to keep themselves occupied between catwalks? Magazines? CD players? Leave all your suggestions below!

Are You Text-Obsessed?

GeekSugar — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 06:29:37 -0800

We all know how I feel about texting during dinner, a movie, or a heartfelt convo, but how acceptable is texting during a (very) public event?

Although this pic of Paris and Nicky Hilton at Fashion Week makes me want to sit them down and give them a lecture in appropriate text behavior, I'm trying to be understanding. Like I've said before, I get the addiction, I just don't get the text dependence. Seriously, if I had a front row seat to check out Pamella Roland's beautiful collection, there wouldn't be a single thing that could tear my eyes from the runway. Except for maybe Nigel Barker there on the left . . .

Nokia will be introducing two more exquisite phones to its L'Amour Collection during Paris fashion week this Spring. The Nokia special edition pink and black 7373 will be paired with unique accessories by designer Giambattista Valli.
The pink design will include a pearl necklace and a feminine pouch while the black chrome cell will have a black diamond skull and a crystal strap. The designs are intended to be Valli's interpretation of the contradictory elements of an intensive romance. What do you think? Does this phone scream intensive romance?

Hussein Chalayan Creates "Big Bang" Mechanical Dresses

GeekSugar — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 10:40:51 -0800

Hussein Chalayan is certainly no stranger to incorporating technology into his fashions, as he already showcased a series of LED laser dresses earlier this year in Tokyo. During this week's Paris Fashion Week , Hussein presented his Fall collection, which included high-tech dresses used to symbolize the Big Bang.

As discussed on Boing Boing, models came out at the end of the show wearing moving lights that orbited around them, representing the center of the universe. They certainly don't look like the most comfortable pieces of geek apparel to wear, but an interesting concept nonetheless. I'd rather see more light emitting diode dresses, which are somewhat fashionable and functional.
