The French car manufacturers continue their ‘designer collaborations’ by teaming up with Irish designer Orla Kiely in their latest exclusive collection.

The DS3 was advertised as an updated version of the Citroën C3, but was aimed at a more premium market.

Posted by in Façonnable Lifestyle | Comments Off

Polaroid has revealed 3 new products from their Grey Label range at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. These innovative gadgets were demonstrated to spectators by musician Lady Gaga, who was appointed as Polaroid’s creative director in January last year.

The GL20 Camera Glasses, a set of sunglasses that double as a digital camera, are perhaps the most exclusive product in the collection. They have 1.5 inch OLED screens that capture and display images, as well as a video option. Wearers also are able to show images on the outer screen/lenses, allowing them to “tell their story to the world” according to Polaroid. There is a hidden USB key in the earpiece that enables the wearer to transfer images onto a computer, ideal for storing the images and uploading them to the internet. The Camera Glasses will be available to buy later this year and the price is to be announced.
