Storage as a fashion statement

Could technology be moving beyond Geek Chic?

We’ve all seen quirky thumb drives that turn heads. But there are signs that storage and technology in general are moving into the fashion mainstream.

The Bejing Times recently reported on a fashion show at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology that presented outfits inspired by technology accessories. From the caption: “Designer Lyla introduced her designs based on Seagate’s fashionable digital products.”

Is technology fashion moving beyond Geek Chic? Not for a geezer like me.  But my 20ish neices carry their cell phones like my mom carried lipstick.
