These Butterfly headphones will compliment the upcoming Vivienne Tam Butterfly Netbook

Monster, a longtime leader in advanced consumer electronics accessories and fast becoming one of the world’s leading manufacturers of premium headphones, is proud to introduce its new “Butterfly™” high-performance in-ear headphones (MSRP: $199.95), created in conjunction with world-renowned fashion designer Vivienne Tam. The new patent-pending Butterfly headphones echo the “Butterfly Lovers” theme of Ms. Tam’s acclaimed Spring 2010 fashion collection, featuring an elegantly curved design, light gold-brushed finish and colorful butterfly images on the earpieces. They provide style-conscious consumers with an unprecedented opportunity to enjoy great sounding music while expressing their personal taste in a way that is unmistakably the work of the renowned Chinese-born designer.

Noted Ms. Tam: “Fashion and music together give you a different journey, different world and experiences of life. Music gives my designs movement and rhythm. I dance with my designs.

Double Happiness.”

HP Computers Usher in New Levels of Design Innovation on Season Seven of Lifetime Television’s Hit Series “Project Runway”

Fusing the worlds of fashion and technology, HP today announced with Intel a product integration with Lifetime Television’s hit show “Project Runway” that makes HP’s touch-enabled PCs and notebooks an integral part of the creative process throughout the show’s new season.

Contestants will, for the first time in the history of the series, have the option to use computers to sketch designs and inspire their work. “Project Runway” season seven will premiere Jan. 14 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Lifetime.

“Technology is what’s next in fashion design. Forward-thinking designers are exploring new ways to use technology in the design process,” said Barbara Schneeweiss, vice president of Production and Development for TV and Feature Film at The Weinstein Company.

Technology on the show

The “Project Runway” designers will have the opportunity to unleash their creativity using HP TouchSmart PCs and HP TouchSmart tm2 notebooks, both powered with Intel processors. The screen of the tm2 can be rotated around and converted to slate mode, morphing it into a sketchpad with digital pen. This allows the designers to draw, sketch and take notes with near limitless options for colors, brushes and effects.

The winning designer of season seven will receive a $50,000 prize package from HP and Intel to create, design and run his or her own business.
