3D glasses are fantastically fun, but there's next to nothing fashionable about them. At a recent 3D Entertainment Summit (read: geekfest!) word got out that plans are in the works for designer and prescription glasses with lenses compatible with Real D 3D.
While some might scoff at the idea, naysayers will have to admit most 3D glasses make movie watching awkward and even painful.

Microsoft must have taken a cue from fashion designer Vivienne Tam, who just announced another new fashionable clutch netbook, because the company is now mixing high fashion with tech thanks to their newest collection of designer themed custom palettes and wallpapers for Windows phones.
On Oct. 6, customers with Windows Mobile 6.5 devices will be able to download fashionable themes from designers including: Diane von Furstenberg, Vera Wang, Isaac Mizrahi, Rock & Republic, and Ron Arad.

An industrial designer whom I've featured here before designed this copper pendant lamp. Can you tell me his name?

Vivienne Tam is starting a trend, and it goes beyond her amazing fashion designs. At last year's Fashion Week, Vivienne Tam unveiled a designer HP Mini 1000 that I instantly fell in love with, and at this weekend's Spring 2010 show, she did it again.
The newest designer netbook clutch comes in a feminine gold and butterfly finish, inspired by the Chinese story of the "Butterfly Lovers", which is a beautiful tale of freedom, romance and inspiration.

While designers like Tord Boontje, Philippe Starck, and George Nelson have been immeasurably influential on the interior design world, their creations are often out of reach for most of us. Luckily, every once in a while you can get a great deal on their classic designs. I know you all love a steal, and even more so when your favorite designers are involved.

I had learned from Fab that fashion designer Giles Deacon had incorporated some intense geeky Pac Man headgear during his London Fashion Week runway show, but I had no idea that such a dress like this existed — stop the presses!
After my run in with the Space Invaders dress at the FCUK store, it became apparent to me that video game graphics on sexy designer dresses wasn't that taboo, and that it was actually kinda sexy.
This sparkly couture Pac Man dress features the key elements from the popular arcade video game, including the ghosts and Pac Man himself.

Look, I don't have time to be on any sort of waiting list (unless Nintendo or Apple release something else, then we're talking) or, you know, the $4,000+ it takes to have a real Kelly or Birkin bag by Hermès.
Turns out that it's a good time to be a geek, because high-end designers are recognizing their wired admirers — the other day, Chanel released their own app, and now Hermès wants you to have your own low-budget Kelly — by downloading it!
If you're down with papercrafts but wish your crafts ended up more Upper East Side than the monsters from Gobeesta, then download this from Hermès' website by clicking "I want it" (of course you do).

A very important mid-century designer, who was featured in one of my Designer Spotlights, designed this chair. Can you guess who he is?

I know kids are totally tech savvy nowadays, but cell phones that look like crib accessories are not my cup of tea. French mobile company Sagem has teamed up with fashion designer Lulu Castagnette to create these My411C model phones, which are being targeted to kids and women — since when is a teddy bear representative of both of these groups? IntoMobile explains that it's not only the exterior that is raising eyebrows, but the features are also lacking as well, as there is nothing unique or special to write home about.
