Well, This Is One Way to Advertise…

You could easily say that the HP Computer commercials are the best ones on the tube these days (Okay…so maybe the Gieco and Disney vacation package commercials are better, but work with me). I loved the creative and inspirational (yes, inspirational) commercials showcasing Vera Wang and Gewn Stefani, but Fergie just isn’t doing it for me. As opposed to past HP commercials, which typically warm the heart and tell you that all your dreams are possible with an HP Computer, Fergie simply talks about herself, her music and advertises for her new shoe collections. It might be HP’s commercial, but it looks like Fergie is doing a little advertising of her own.

No matter how much I hate her commercial, I can’t hate this pop star…afterall, she did teach me how to spell.

Thanks Just Jared!

First Look: Vivienne Tam for HP

Vivienne Tam and Hewlett-Packard today are unveiling what might be the first laptop computer designed for women.

The HP Mini Vivienne Tam Edition, which costs $700, is small, lightweight and colorful. Its red and pink peony injected plastic print exterior matches Tam’s spring clothing, and it will be sold at the Vivienne Tam store in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood in the spring. In the meantime, it is available for pre-order through HP, and will ship in early December. A plain version in black, pink or silver will also be available in November.

The laptop weighs two pounds, has an almost full-size keyboard (92 percent) with a red inside.

Thanks WWD

Collab-Ho: HP & Vivienne Tam

Fashion and technology are joining forces this fashion week with the fusion of “China Chic & HP.” Vivienne Tam is creating a limited-edition computer with Hewlett Packard. This isn’t the first time a top American designer has collaborated on a PC; previously, Vera Wang designed skins for HP laptops.

To celebrate the venture, Tam will host a party at her Mercer Street store on September 9, following her Spring 2009 show at Bryant Park.

Next up, Marc Jacobs and Apple, or was that wishful thinking?

Thanks FashionWeekDaily.
