It seems these days ever rap artist/music artist has a clothing line. Now, the new thing is to have a phone. Prada, did it, Zac Posen designed something for Nokia a while back and now Armani whipped up this little gem. The Giorgio Armani-Samsung phone is a mere 10.5 mm in thickness. It will be available in selected mobile phone stores and Giorgio Armani boutiques in major European countries from November 2007, with expansion to other markets planned for 2008.

I predict we will someday be able to have multiple phones then I can decide what looks best with my Prada suit, My samsung Armani, or my Prada cellphone.

Taking inspiration from “the duke of windsor”, Belgian Bruno Pieters autumn/winter mens collection (his first mens collection) reflects a contemporary fitted silhouette, with the mix of breeches, bowties, and three-piece suites offset with skinny pants, and reconstructed trench coats. Bruno has recently been appointed the art director for Hugo Bosse’s edgier Hugo line. He has filled the gap where cloak left off.
