dolce & gabbana

It's not uncommon for fashion houses to lend their brand name clout to cell phones (the LG Prada, anyone?), and Dolce & Gabbana has done it again with the just announced Sony Ericsson Jalou. This stunner has a nice rose hue with real 24-carat-gold plating, so you don't want to be leaving this around unattended. The Dolce & Gabbana version of the phone will of course come with special packaging and accessories, like three satin bags and a special D&G headset with gold accents.

The Dolce & Gabbana version is simply a limited edition of the … Read more

BOSTON--Is a fashion and tech industry partnership the equivalent of mixing plaids with stripes, or is this a case of black and white being the perfect match?
