Tech Highlights From Past Fashion Weeks

GeekSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 11:25:18 -0700

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.

Iron Maiden Gwyneth and The Future of Fashion!

GeekSugar — Fri, 02 May 2008 06:30:14 -0700

What if Tony Stark had been Antonia Stark and Gwyneth Paltrow was the one suiting up in Iron Man, out today? The film would probably look like Vogue's spread with cover girl Gwyneth Paltrow - real props from Marvel complement couture gowns and elaborate wiring that's as much her power as it is her accessory. Check out the slideshow for the whole Gwyneth shoot!

Apple Employees' New Uniforms: What Would Karl Lagerfeld Do?

GeekSugar — Thu, 01 May 2008 04:30:40 -0700

The change-up in Apple employees' uniforms got me thinking - what if they took this step to be as fashion forward as they are in the aesthetic design of their products? Changes include dark blue for Geniuses/Creatives, light blue for Specialists, bright orange for Concierges, black for Back-of-the-House kids, who will all be wearing t-shirts, while Business Partners will be in dark blue button-down shirts.

But what if, instead of just assigning new colors of t-shirts, Apple went a little haute couture - maybe not quite Vogue's editorial take on IT fashionistas, or at the very least, fun and trendy? I have taken the liberty of imagining this "What-If" and have picked fun, fashionable options in the new colors (like this Marc By Marc Jacobs dress) - if geeksugar were running Apple's dress code!

For female employees:

Paul & Joe Sister Bouquet grandad shirt - $195.00	End-on-end Kensington shirt - $68.00
Short Sleeve Shirt - $440.00	MARNI Blouse - $255.00
Marc by Marc Jacobs Tie-Front Pointelle Blouse - $198.00	Theory Dervan Top - $190.00
3.1 Phillip Lim Silk pleated blouse - $315.00	Marc by Marc Jacobs Double-breasted shift dress - $428.00

For male employees:

GRN Apple Tree Cracks Button Up in Black - $77.00	Hurley - One Only Solid S/S Buttondown (Black) - $46.00
The Smooth Company Masina Button Up in Black - $110.00	BDG Basic V Tee - $14.00
James Perse Short Sleeve Polo - $87.00	Modern Amusement Popover Check Shirt - $140.60
Penguin The Jack Polo in Air Blue - $69.00

Vogue Wants To Get Digital

GeekSugar — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 09:00:23 -0700

This month's Vogue has more than Iron Woman Gwyneth Paltrow - they have a spread called "Let's Get Digital," that seems to be aimed squarely at me and my geeksugar loyalists! They mix Logitech with Lanvin, iPhones with Armani, Blackberrys and Balenciaga - what I've been striving to do for years: meshing a look that loves fashion as much as technology. Check out the slideshow to see the geek chic intersections!

Totally Geeky or Completely Crazy? Geeky Shoes

GeekSugar — Thu, 31 May 2007 09:00:38 -0700

I couldn't resist posting these when I saw a feature on TechEBlog which displayed some outrageously geeky shoes. The first pair of sneakers come with a wireless music system which includes an MP3 player. You can store up to 100 songs and transfer them via the USB which is, get this, on the side of the shoe! The other pair, covered with a computer keyboard, were unveiled at the 14th China International Clothing and Accessories Fair in Beijing and won the top prize in the sports category at the 6th Hong Kong Footwear Design Contest. Geekiness and whiteness aside, what are your thoughts on high tech footwear?

Love It or Leave It? Click Wheel Nano T-Shirt

GeekSugar — Thu, 10 May 2007 08:30:34 -0700

Doesn't this click wheel nano t-shirt by PodWare remind you of those cutsey wootsey baby iPod jumpers? The only difference is these T's have a special pocket to fit your 1st or 2nd generation iPod nano (also available for shuffles). Featured on Gadgetress, these $26 T-shirts come in a variety of designs and sizes for both men and women. I often worry about things falling out of my pockets in general, so I can't imagine carrying my iPod in my T-shirt. What are your thoughts?

Fashionable or Too Techie? The Video Dress

Fashionable or over the top techie?
