Fashion Week For a Geek

The good thing about modern industrial designers is that some of them are brave enough to realize and present the wildest of their ideas. And it’s even more amazing how exactly they do it: with utmost seriousness, not giving a hint of childish excitement.

One example is “Beauty and the Geek” jeans, which is an incredible combination of a pair of jeans, a keyboard, a joystick controller and a pocket for a mouse (which is the only thing that seems to be more or less normal). The product, however, looks more like a fake. If it’s not, I am impressed by the unbelievable self-confidence of the author Erik De Nijs.

Another example of the idea that is supposed to be taken seriously is Body-Technology Interfaces. The name sounds very intelligent, but the actual product looks way too futuristic, not to say silly.
