Sober Style on Milan Runways = More iPod Pockets

Sober Style on Milan Runways = More iPod Pockets

Men’s fashion shows are keeping things busy and taxis scarce in Milan this week. Designers are dealing with the luxe hangover with new sober designs; Bottega Veneta wants to move its expensive leather goods by putting the focus on how useful they are for toting small electronics.

IHT fashion scribe Suzie Menkes writes:

“Designer Tomas Maier took pains to explain the functionality of iPod-friendly bags. A projection would have helped to convey the details.”

It’s hard to imagine perpetually broody models opening up the bags like the one above on the runway to show the handy-dandy iPod pockets “Price is Right” style, but as Menkes later notes, if you believe in the quality of the Italian fashion house known for its woven leathers,  you’ll just have to take thier word for it.

    It is hardly a first. Did Louis Vuitton not design suitcases where you could store 7 iPods in it? You know, for this mid-weak breaks in April?
