Technology with style

At last week’s annual Webby Awards, Vogue Editor in Chief Anna Wintour accepted an award for best fashion website and as part of her acceptance speech said “Sometimes, geeks can be chic.” This geek-chic trend where fashion meets technology has truly been a revolution for designers, retailers, bloggers, magazine publishers and of course consumers!

Known for embracing trends like no other, the fashion industry is head over stilettos in love with technology’s shiny new toy – the Apple iPad. Launching just over a year ago it seems like the iPad trend is going to last longer than harem pants! This slick device is the new Moleskin and instead of scribbling frantically front-row at fashion week you can simply use your fancy touch screen while browsing the internet and updating your blog. You can also download your favourite glossy magazine and experience it in a whole new way. Locally magazines like Sarie are embracing technology with a lovely app and international stars like Elle, Net-a-Porter and Vanity Fair will leave you browsing until dawn.

This shiny little ipad is really hotting up our hot list and in true form we are on the hunt for a chic case to match its chic physique. We found almost all design houses are offering a signature pocket for your ipad - from Chanel to Vuitton, Burberry to de la Renta! Here are some of our dreamy favourites.
