Legos Make Their Way Into High Fashion

GeekSugar — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 10:00:28 PDT

With their bright colors and geometrical shapes, it's no surprise that designers are incorporating Legos into their trend-setting creations. During New York Fashion Week, Spring '08 the Fab ladies had the chance to check out the Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring collection, which just so happened to feature Lego belt buckles and hair accessories. It all started with Balenciaga, who came out with the Lego inspired heels in February- supposedly their version of 'sporty stilettos'. For those of you who aren't really into Lego apparel, there's also a ton of geeky Lego jewelry pieces for colorful accessorizing! Click here to purchase and to learn how to make your own!

iWant: A Pac-Man Delicacy

Kelly Schwarze — Wed, 23 May 2012 17:00:04 PDT

We'll unapologetically wear our old-school gaming pride on our sleeves, but when the occasion calls for something a little more refined, costume baubles just don't fit the bill. To the rescue - as he always was during Summer days at the arcade - is the charming Pac-Man, who this time adds an adorable edge to a delicate, gold-filled chain ($32).

Poised to gobble up a villainous ghost, the one-inch vermeil Pac-Man charm sits center stage on the 16-inch cable chain from Etsy seller Lisa Loren. It has all the class of fine jewelry with high scores in personality.

iWant: Henriette Lofstrom Constellations Collection

The saying goes that we're all made of stardust, and the Constellations Collection may very well have been cut straight from the heavenly bodies that line our night sky. Danish born Henriette Lofstrom, whose past work tends to have a geometric-meets-tribal-meets-Stargate feel, designed these geometric shaped pieces in gold and palladium, perfect for the celestial-obsessed jewelry hound that needs a strong architectural piece to top off an outfit. With earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings, there's a little something for everyone. Check out a few more images of the collection in the gallery!

Jewelry Cuffs For Camera Buffs

Scared of missing a photo opportunity, we carry our cameras with us everywhere - and end up looking like a tourist on the daily commute. Time to mix it up with a fashionable take on an addictive hobby. Australian jewelry company Oye Modern has a line of limited-edition jewelry with the professional and amateur photographer in mind. Heavy-duty lenses are recycled into flexible bracelets, and I'm especially excited about the vintage-inspired sterling silver camera winder brooch. Click through to see all the wearable goods.

Precious Metals For Music and Vinyl Geeks

Since you had a retro turntable before vinyl became cool again and are most often found with a set of headphones wrapped around your neck, jewelry inspired by your favorite hobby is a necessary indulgence (other than a new mixer or rare vinyl box set, of course). With its tiny turntables pendants and sterling silver headphones rings, Australian artist Nathan Thomas's Darkcloud Silver line of jewelry is made for the person that always has the latest music gear and never misses a good live show. Who wouldn't want to update white iPod headphones with a lookalike necklace?

A thoughtful jewelry gift doesn't have to mean rare gemstones and hefty price tags. Step outside the, uhm, jewelry box and shower your sweetie pie with the geeky lifestyle treats they love so much. These rings combine romance with pop culture favorites like nostalgic video games and Doctor Who.

Superglam Batman Baubles

GeekSugar — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 14:40:33 PDT

As fashion powerhouse Anna Wintour recently said, "Geeks can be chic." Though that statement is nothing new to us, it is fun to see geek pop up in unexpectedly glamorous ways. Our current glam geek obsession is Batman jewelry - we were often caught channeling Batgirl on the playground, after all. The simple aesthetic of the Caped Crusader makes for some surprisingly pretty designs. While we have over a year until the next Batman film, the jewelry we've been spying across the web may tide us over until The Dark Knight Rises.
