The PC as the new fashion accessory

Nothing makes an outfit like a fabulous pair of shoes, a beautiful set of pearls and a sleak-looking handbag. Well how about a PC? During New York’s Fashion week this month at the Vivienne Tam show, was revealed the new fashion accessory – a digital clutch. 

HP has partnered with world-renowed designer Vivienne Tam to create a special-edition notebook. HP’s 8.9-inch 2133 Mini-Note has been a great success, so it only makes sense that the company would want to expand the line and target a specific demographic. This is the first time a computer company has partnered with a well-known designer to create a PC that combines fashion and technology. Not to mention that this represents the modern woman who is as passionate about fashion as she is technology and innovation.

From being able to choose your favorite color iPod, to all the different designs that came out for the T-Mobile SideKick, it only seems right that one should be able to buy a PC that represents their personality. This first unveiling represents Vivienne Tam’s Chinese culture with the red color and the peony flower, which is the national flower of China. However, it’s also what the flower represents – beauty, prosperity and happiness which for Ms. Tam also represents the modern woman.

It will be interesting to see how sales will do for this digital clutch. However I know one thing, a woman can never have too many accessories. The HP Vivienne Tam Special Edition Notebook comes out early next year.

Also to note, HP and Tam along with Glam.com launched a fully integrated virtual experience. It’s to inspire fashionistas around the world to find design inspiration online. Go to http://tech-chic.glam.com/, find your best pic and have fun!
