La moda tecnologica
Corrado Galbiati, nextinnovation.it
La tecnologia è in costante evoluzione, proprio come la moda. Le vediamo”allineate” alle sfilate francesi, dove lo stilista John Galliano, che firma la propria linea e quella di Dior, racconta come e perché il fashion system sta cambiando, rivelando la sua passione per internet e per le nuove tecnologie. “La moda riguarda l’hic et nunc, il qui e l’adesso.
In questo lasso di tempo velocissimo, bisogna riflettere, catturare, farsi ispirare e pensare degli abiti – dice lo stilista –. La nostra era è influenzata da molte cose, ma soprattutto da tecnologie rivoluzionarie. Internet e i new media mi hanno aiutato a sviluppare nuove idee. Per me sono l’unico modo per guardare al futuro”. “La sensazione di stare in una sala ad ammirare una sfilata è completamente diversa dallo schermo di un pc.
Però, siccome uno show può essere trasmesso in diretta streaming, bisogna ripensare tutto e rinnovare la formula”, continua Galliano, che ha presentato la sua nuova linea di occhiali con un rivoluzionario video-morphing su internet, un montaggio che trasforma i volti dei modelli in quello dello stilista e viceversa.

Donne e tecnologia mobile
Una domanda per tutte: quanti ruoli sa interpretare una donna?

Milano, 16 marzo 2010
Teatro Derby – Via Pietro Mascagni, 8
ore 17.00
Il teatro è il luogo ideale – tra cultura, approfondimento e innovazione – per confrontarci sul rapporto tra donne e tecnologie mobili, strumenti imprescindibili per ognuno di noi in quest’era “mobile”. In scena tre signore alle prese con il lavoro e la frenetica vita quotidiana, sempre più “multitasking, multiplayer, multimedia”.
Francesco Morace, sociologo, scrittore e giornalista, ci porterà alla scoperta di nuove sfide, paradigmi e trend, tra posh tweens, singular women e sense girls. La tecnologia sarà protagonista di un insolito talkshow e rivelerà la sua portata dirompente e sostenibile nei nostri stili di vita di oggi e di domani.
Non perdere questa occasione di fare luce sui macro trend con cui ci avviciniamo al futuro.

Versace to Launch Fashion-Chic Cell Phone.
Fashion label Versace announced today it will design and release a Versace-branded cell phone this spring.
Iconic Italian fashion house Versace will introduce its first Versace branded mobile phone hardware in May. The Wall Street Journal reported today that Donatella Versace created this new mobile handset with French manufacterurs ModeLabs Group SA. Reports says the new Versace cell phone will retail for more than Christian Dior’s 2008 cell phone, which costs €3,500, or about $5,000.
“Before, brands couldn’t imagine that a luxury telephone was possible,” said ModeLabs Chief Executive Stéphane Bohbot. “Now, limited distribution and customized design have created a new interest for brands in telephones.”
The Milan-based fashion house says it will show off its luxury mobile device for the first time to select clients at a private showing during Paris Haute Couture week later this month. WSJ confirms that ModeLabs will be supplying operating system upgrades to customers of the luxury brand cell, so they don’t fall behind in these fast paced technical times.
