PR Newswire (US)
NEW YORK, Feb. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Inspired by music and dedicated to
supporting "gadgets for girls," Luella Bartley joined forces on
Sunday with Sony Electronics and Sony Ericsson to highlight the
equally inspiring Walkman(R) brand during her Fall runway show. To
accessorize her collection, Luella customized Walkman wireless
phones and Walkman Bean(TM) MP3 players with graffiti designs that
coordinated with her new line. The uber-chic phones and music
players adorned models as they strutted the catwalk. Fall/Winter
2006 is very sexy for the Luella girl; she has a strong air of
confidence and is playing with the themes of 1940's tailoring and
the Luella take on menswear. Call it Betty Page naughtiness with a
London edge and a hint of rockabilly. The Walkman devices perfectly
complement the vibe. "I'm motivated by a new sense of dressing up
in London with clubs full of beautiful girls in forties-inspired
outfits," Bartley said. "The new, modern form of burlesque, the
tattooed women of the forties and of course slow, feminine, sexy,
music perfect to listen to on a Walkman device." Walkman Bean MP3
Player Bright and colorful, the compact Walkman Bean MP3 players
sport a sassy shape and come in such tasty colors as coconut white,
tropical ice blue, cotton candy pink and licorice black. They store
hundreds of songs, include a built-in FM tuner and a brilliant
display. For added convenience, the players have a pop-up USB jack
that connects directly to a PC for charging and transferring music.
They provide up to 50 hours of continuous playback on a
rechargeable battery and feature a quick-charge function that
enables about three hours of playback on as little as a
three-minute charge. Sony Ericsson Walkman Phones Sony Ericsson's
new line of Walkman phones elevates mobile music to a whole new
level. Great phones first, the Walkman series includes fashionably
cool, all-in-one devices that let you take your favorite tunes with
you wherever you go. Each phone ships with a high quality stereo
headset that has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can use
other headphones if that's your style. High-quality digital cameras
and video capabilities round out these rockin' devices. And, with
the Walkman phones' elegant and stylish design, they're perfect for
a design diva or phone fashionista. Also at the show, the Luella
for Walkman "Gadgets for Girls" Lounge offered guests the
opportunity to get a close up of the specially designed phones and
music players. "My life has a soundtrack," Bartley noted. "And it's
usually playing back on a Walkman." DATASOURCE: Sony Electronics
